Abstract

Purpose: Exploring and discussing the influence of wheat oligo-peptides on the metabolism of protein in wistar rats’ skeletal muscles and its mechanism. Method: 24 male wistar rats are classified at random into a normal control group (Group A, n=8), an exercising group (Group B, n=8) and an exercising+wheat oligo-peptide group (Group C, n=8). Results: after doing exercises, the content of protein in the wistar rats’ skeletal muscles falls (P<0.05); after the rats are supplied with wheat oligo-peptides, the content of Pro and Myo in the wistar rats’ skeletal muscles significantly rises (P<0.01). Conclusions: high intensity exercises may inhibit the synthesis of protein in the skeletal muscles; the wheat oligo-peptide may effectively relieve the reduction of the content of protein in the wistar rats’ skeletal muscles arising from heavy load exercises, and has the functions of relieving the physical fatigue and improving the oxygen deficiency tolerance.
