Effect of banikha hard capsule on the physical strength in experimental animal
Main Article Content
Abstract
The study assessed the effect of Banikha hard capsule on the physical strength of experimental mice. Mice were orally administered 0.7704 and 2.3112 g/kg per day of Banikha and 96 mg/kg per day of sulbutiamin for 2 weeks. The effect of Banikha hard capsule on physical strength was assessed by measuring the mice’s gripping strength in a rotating rod test, measuring the pulling strength of mice, and forced swimming test. The results showed that Banikha hard capsule could prolong swimming time in forced swimming test and retention time on the rotarod. In addition, Banikha at doses of 0.7704 and 2.3112 g/kg per day increased muscle strength. Glucose and albumin levels did not significantly changed after forced swimming test. These results suggested that Banikha hard capsule could improve physical strength in experimental mice.
