Overtraining is a high-volume, high-intensity, long-duration, and high-frequency training. The heavier physical training, the more oxygen needed for metabolism. Increasing oxygen usage causes an elevation of electron leakage in mitochondria;thus,produce a higher amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Antioxidant inhibits oxidative damage in a target molecule. Grapes contain a lot of antioxidants, such as polyphenols and anthocyanins. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of ethanol extract of Balinese grapes (Vitis vinifera) on β-cells and muscle damage in overtraining-induced rats. This study was a completely randomized experimental study using a posttest only control group design. Samples were 36 male albino rats (Rattus norvergicus), aged 2.5-3 months, divided randomly into two groups. The control group (P0), 18 rats, were given overtraining and placebo of 2 ml distilled water; the treatment group (P1) 18 rats, were given overtraining and 25g/kg.BW ethanol extract of Balinese grapes. The result showed the average amount of pancreatic β-cells in the P0 group was higher than the P1 group (p< 0.001). In addition, the average level of creatine kinase was also higher in the P1 group than those of the P0 group (p<0,001). It can be concluded that the administration of ethanolic extract of Balinese grapes mitigates the damage on pancreatic β-cells and muscle cells induced with overtraining.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
