Abstract: Two tests were done separately by Wuyi rock tea with 20 mice for antitiring swimming and with 20 rats for antioxidating. The control group was fed by basic feed and running water, the experimental group was fed by feed was added 3% Wuyi rock tea and 0.5% made tea for drinking. The test time was 3 weeks. The results showed that: the dying time of control group is 1.90±0.66 (min), dying time of experimental group is 2.52±0.77 min, which is obviously longer than the control (p<0.05). The antioxidating experimental result showed as follows: the SOD of serum, cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, liver, kidney were rising 13%, 37%, 39%, 20%, the GSH-Px were rising 7%, 64%, 32%, 48% respectively in experimental group than the control group(p<0.05). The MDA of serum, skeletal muscle, liver, kidney were reducing 47%, 32%, 29%, 35% than the control group(p<0.05 and 0.01). These results showed that the Wuyi rock tea has remarkable antitiring and antioxidating effect.
