Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a composition for preventing or / and treating hypoxic fatigue at high altitude. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing demand for high-altitude tourism, sports competition and other needs, the number of activities in high-altitude areas is increasing, but the low oxygen and high altitude environment unique to high-altitude areas can cause hypoxic fatigue and other symptoms in the human body. Hypoxic fatigue at high altitude is one of the most common subjective discomforts during acute and chronic high-altitude exposure, and its mechanism involves a complex network from cellular oxygen sensing to peripheral-central integrated regulation.

[0003] The altitude in high-altitude areas is generally around 1000-5000 meters. People from plain areas will experience headache, dizziness, tinnitus, insomnia and other high-altitude acclimatization disorders during the initial stage of rapid entry into high-altitude areas, and after long-term life and work in high-altitude areas, there are still problems such as hypoxic fatigue, sleep disorders, and mental fatigue. Therefore, it is necessary to research and develop a health product with medicinal and edible properties to prevent or treat hypoxic fatigue at high altitude.

[0004] Research has found that high-altitude hypoxia symptoms can be prevented or improved by consuming high-altitude anti-hypoxia plants. Rhodiola is one of the plants recognized worldwide, but long-term use can have certain side effects on the body. Medicinal and edible plants have fewer side effects and are easy to eat, and have become a hot spot in recent years for anti-hypoxic fatigue research. High-altitude characteristic biological resources such as highland barley, wolfberry, sea buckthorn, and Nitraria tangutorum Bobr have anti-hypoxic and anti-fatigue effects when used alone, but there are few reports on their combined use in acute hypoxic environments (Chen, et al., Anti-fatigue effect of highland characteristic nutritional powder on BALB / C mice in simulated high-altitude environment, Grain and Oil, 2024, Vol. 37, No. 10.

[0005] Zhang, et al., Experimental study on the anti-fatigue effect of Phyllanthus emblica on mice in a simulated high-altitude environment, Journal of Pharmacy of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, June 20, 2011, Vol. 27, No. 3, observed the effect of Phyllanthus emblica on improving the anti-fatigue ability of mice in a simulated high-altitude environment. Ginseng also has hypoxia tolerance and anti-fatigue effects (Li, et al., Research progress of Chinese medicine in preventing and treating high-altitude hypoxia, World Science and Technology - Modernization of Chinese Medicine, Chinese Medicine Research, Vol. 23, No. 12) There is currently no related report on the combination of Phyllanthus emblica extract, ginseng extract, sea buckthorn extract, and coffee powder for high-altitude hypoxic fatigue.

[0034] 1. Time to exhaustion while swimming Compared with the normoxic control group, the time to exhaustion in the hypoxic model group of mice was significantly shorter, showing a statistically significant difference. p< 0.05), indicating that hypoxia reduces the exercise capacity of mice. Compared with the hypoxic model group, the time to exhaustion in re-swimming was significantly prolonged in all drug-treated groups ( p< 0.001). Meanwhile, the swimming exhaustion time of the mice in the formulation group was significantly increased compared to the positive control group. This indicates that the formulation can effectively enhance the effect of each individual herb in improving hypoxic fatigue in mice and prolonging their swimming exhaustion time. Figure 1 Meanwhile, among different formulations, ratio 1 had a stronger effect on increasing the time to exhaustion in mice (Table 1).

[0035] Table 1. Improvement in motor behavior and changes in serum biochemical parameters in mice under different formulation ratios (X±SD, n=6, compared with formulation 1, *) p <0.05,** p <0.01, *** p <0.001)

[0036] 2. Serum biochemical indicators 2.1 Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and serum urea nitrogen (BUN) Increased lactate accumulation tends to lead to increased LDH activity. BUN is the final product of protein catabolism, and changes in serum BUN levels indicate kidney function. Therefore, changes in serum LDH activity and serum BUN levels can serve as important indicators for assessing exercise-induced fatigue. Figure 2 It can be seen that compared with the normoxic control group, the serum LDH activity and BUN content were both increased in the hypoxia model group. p< 0.001); Meanwhile, compared with the hypoxia model group, the LDH activity and BUN content in each treatment group were significantly reduced ( p < (0.001); This indicates that after administration, the increase in serum LDH activity and BUN content in mice caused by hypoxia can be inhibited. However, the decrease in LDH activity and BUN content was greater in the group treated with this formulation compared to other treatment groups. At the same time, the inhibitory effect of formulation 1 on LDH activity and BUN content was also better than that of other formulations (Table 1).

[0037] 2.2 MDA content and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) activity MDA is a metabolite of lipid peroxidation and can indirectly reflect the degree of cell damage caused by oxygen free radicals. Figure 3 It can be seen that, compared with the normoxic control group, the serum MDA content in the hypoxic model group mice was significantly increased. p<0.001), T-AOC activity was significantly reduced ( p< The result was 0.05, indicating that hypoxic environments cause an increase in serum MDA levels and a decrease in T-AOC activity. Compared with the hypoxic model group, all treatment groups showed a decrease in MDA levels and an increase in T-AOC activity. In contrast, the formulation group significantly reduced the content of lipid metabolite MDA and significantly increased T-AOC activity. p< 0.001). This indicates that the formulation can enhance the ability of each individual herb to inhibit the increase in serum MDA content and decrease in T-AOC activity in mice caused by hypoxia. Formulation 1 also showed a stronger ability to reduce MDA content and increase T-AOC activity than the other two groups (Table 1).

[0038] 2.3 Triglycerides (TG) and Glycogen (Glu) pass Figure 4 It can be seen that, compared with the normoxic model group, the serum TG level in the hypoxic model group mice decreased slightly, but this was not statistically significant. Other drug administration groups also had almost no effect on TG levels, and there was almost no difference in TG changes among the three different drug ratios (Table 1). However, compared with the normoxic model group, the glycogen content in the liver of the hypoxic model group mice decreased extremely significantly. p< The result was 0.001, indicating that mice consume liver glycogen as a raw material for energy metabolism under hypoxic conditions; compared with the hypoxic model group, each treatment group significantly increased the liver glycogen content in mice. p< (0.001), the formulation group showed an even greater increase. This indicates that the formulation can significantly increase the level of energy substances in the body, and the ratio of 1 to 1 shows an even greater increase in energy substances.

[0039] In conclusion, the combination of individual herbs can enhance their ability to resist hypoxic fatigue and exert a synergistic effect. The ratio 1: Phyllanthus emblica: Hippophae rhamnoides: Ginseng: Coffee powder: Sucrose (48:24:40:25:26) is even more effective. The ratio 1 will be selected for subsequent experiments.

[0040] Experimental Example 2: Pharmacodynamic Study of the Composition of the Invention 1. Time to exhaustion while swimming like Figure 5 As shown, compared with the normoxic control group, the time to exhaustion during swimming was significantly shorter in the hypoxic model group, with a statistically significant difference. p< 0.05), indicating that hypoxia reduces the exercise capacity of mice. Compared with the hypoxia model group, the time to exhaustion in reswimming was significantly prolonged in the low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose formulations. p<(0.001). Meanwhile, the swimming exhaustion time of mice in the medium-dose and high-dose groups was increased compared to the positive control group. This indicates that the formula can effectively improve hypoxic fatigue in mice and prolong their swimming exhaustion time.

[0041] 2. Serum biochemical indicators 2.1 Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and serum urea nitrogen (BUN) Increased lactate accumulation tends to lead to increased LDH activity. BUN is the final product of protein catabolism, and changes in serum BUN levels indicate kidney function. Therefore, changes in serum LDH activity and serum BUN levels can serve as important indicators for assessing exercise-induced fatigue. Figure 6 It can be seen that compared with the normoxic control group, the serum LDH activity and BUN content were both increased in the hypoxia model group. p< 0.001); Meanwhile, compared with the hypoxia model group, the LDH activity and BUN content in the Rhodiola rosea positive group and the low, medium, and high dose formulation groups were significantly reduced ( p< 0.001); This indicates that the formula can inhibit the increase in serum LDH activity and BUN content in mice caused by hypoxia.

[0042] 2.2 MDA content and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) activity MDA is a metabolite of lipid peroxidation and can indirectly reflect the degree of cell damage caused by oxygen free radicals. Figure 7 It can be seen that, compared with the normoxic control group, the serum MDA content in the hypoxic model group mice was significantly increased. p< 0.001), T-AOC activity was significantly reduced ( p< The result was 0.05, indicating that hypoxia causes an increase in serum MDA levels and a decrease in T-AOC activity. While the low-dose formulation showed a decrease in MDA levels and an increase in T-AOC activity compared to the hypoxia model group, this was not statistically significant. In contrast, the Rhodiola rosea positive group, the medium-dose formulation, and the high-dose formulation all significantly reduced the levels of the lipid metabolite MDA. p< 0.001); Rhodiola rosea positive group and medium dose group of the formula can significantly improve T-AOC activity ( p< 0.05), the high-dose formulation significantly increased T-AOC activity ( p< 0.001). This indicates that the formula can inhibit the increase in serum MDA content and decrease in T-AOC activity in mice caused by hypoxia.

[0043] 2.3 Triglycerides (TG) and Glycogen (Glu) pass Figure 8It can be seen that, compared with the normoxic model group, the serum TG level in the hypoxic model group mice was slightly decreased, but this was not statistically significant. Meanwhile, the positive control group and the high, medium, and low dose groups of the formulation had almost no effect on TG levels. However, compared with the normoxic model group, the liver glycogen content in the hypoxic model group mice was significantly decreased. p< 0.001), indicating that mice consume liver glycogen as a raw material for energy metabolism under hypoxic conditions; compared with the hypoxic model group, the positive group and the high, medium and low dose groups of the formula can significantly increase the liver glycogen content of mice ( p< 0.001). This indicates that the formula can alleviate physical fatigue by increasing the level of energy substances in the body.
