Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effects of Herba Cistanches on the content of testosterone， substance metabolism and the ability of resisting exercise-induced fatigue of rats. METHODS High-intensity endurance trained rats were used as the model. Sixty-five 7-week-old male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups， with 15 in each group： still ig administration of water group (C group)， still ig administration of Cistanche group (M group)， exercise ig administration of water group (T group)， and exercise ig administration of Cistanche group (TM group). Gavage was done using professional device once a day. M and TM group were dosed at 6.01 g·kg-1 with volume of 5 mL·kg-1， while C and T group were given saline of the same volume. After 42 d exhaustive swimming training， body weight， swimming time， serum testosterone， and other biochemical markers were measured. RESULTS The body weights and swimming time of the rats in TM group were greater than those in T group (P
