Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the anti-fatigue effect of milk powder with added casein hydrolysate prepared with pepsin in mice. Methods: Healthy BALB/C mice were intragastrically administered with casein hydrolysate or milk powder with its addition for 28 consecutive days. At 30 min after the last administration, weight-loaded swimming tests were carried out and blood urea nitrogen, blood lactic acid and liver glycogen in mice were assayed. Results: Both test materials could prolong the weight-loaded swimming time of mice, reduce the contents of blood lactic acid and blood urea nitrogen, and increase liver glycogen content. Conclusion: Both casein hydrolysate and milk powder with its addition have anti-fatigue effects in mice and can relieve fatigue.
