3.3.The Regulation Effects of Cordyceps militaris on LD, LDH,
and ATP. The accumulation of lactate interferes with nerve
impulses and muscle contraction, thus resulting in fatigue
[21]. Before swimming, no significant differences on LD
levels in serum, liver, and muscle were noted in female and
male mice among all groups except for in muscle tissue
of male mouse (Figure 2). After 20 min exercise, compared
with nontreated mouse, 17.0%, 18.7%, and 36.6% reduction
on LD level in serum, liver, and muscle were observed in
2.0 g/kg CM treated female mouse, respectively (
