Figure 2.
Effect of l‐citrulline supplementation on the blood lactate and glucose levels after weight‐loaded exercise performance. Mice orally administrated with l‐citrulline (250 mg kg−1) or distilled water (D.W.) were made to perform a weight‐loaded forced swimming test for 10 min on day 13. A) Blood lactate levels before and after exercise (0 and 60 min) and B) blood glucose levels after exercise (0 min) were evaluated. Values are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. *p ≤ 0.05 and **p ≤ 0.01 indicate a significant difference compared to the control group.
