Abstract
Globin digest (GD) inhibits dietary hypertriglyceridemia; however, its effects on physical fatigue remain unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the potential anti-fatigue effects of GD. Repeated administration of GD and valine (Val)-Val-tyrosine (Tyr)-proline (Pro), a component of GD, for five days prevented the forced walking-induced decrease in locomotion. Furthermore, GD treatment reversed the forced walking-induced increase in blood lactate levels in mice and increased phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (p-AMPK) in the soleus muscle, suggesting that the anti-fatigue effect of GD involves AMPK activation in the soleus muscle through reduced blood lactate.

Liver hydrolysate prevents depressive-like behavior in an animal model of colitis: Involvement of hippocampal neurogenesis via the AMPK/BDNF pathway. Behav Brain Res 2020; 390:112640.

Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have higher rates of psychiatric pathology, including anxiety and depression. The dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-treated mouse is a well-characterized animal model of colitis that exhibits IBD-like and depressive-like changes. A recent study found that phosphorylated (p-) adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) was associated with anti-inflammatory and antidepressant effects. Our previous research in an animal model of major depression suggests that liver hydrolysate (LH) has an antidepressant effect and combats physical fatigue by enhancement via the hippocampal or peripheral p-AMPK pathway. In this study, we examined whether or not LH has antidepressant and anti-inflammatory effects in mice with DSS-induced changes. We evaluated colon inflammation in DSS-treated mice and used the tail suspension and forced swimming tests to confirm whether or not LH prevents IBD-like symptoms and depressive-like behavior. Hippocampal expression of AMPK, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), doublecortin, and neuronal nuclear antigen proteins was assessed by Western blotting. Hippocampal neurogenesis and morphometric changes in the microglia and astrocytes were examined by immunohistochemistry. DSS-treated mice showed IBD-like pathology and depressive-like behavior, a reduction in the hippocampal neuronal nuclear antigen level and neurogenesis, and increased hippocampal activation of microglia and astrocytes. These changes were reversed by LH. DSS-treated mice showed enhanced hippocampal expression of p-AMPK and BDNF after administration of LH. LH prevented depressive-like behavior by enhancing hippocampal neurogenesis through the AMPK/BDNF pathway and anti-neuroinflammation in the hippocampus. LH may be a therapeutic option for patients with IBD and depression.

Abstract
The mechanism underlying the improvement in hepatic function by liver hydrolysate (LH) after ethanol-induced hepatic injury is unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effects of LH administration on chronic ethanol-induced hepatic injury in normal rats and the mechanism underlying the improvement of its symptoms by LH. LH attenuated liver damage and reduced oxidative stress after chronic ethanol-induced hepatic injury in normal rats. LH treatment reduced hepatic injury biomarkers of plasma aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). LH treatment also decreased levels of 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) as oxidative stress marker. LH may prove beneficial to prevent the liver damage of chronic ethanol, at least in part, by alleviating oxidative stress.

Abstract
We studied the effect of egg white hydrolysate (EWH) on swimming endurance in mice. 7-week-old male ddY mice (28-30 g) were divided into three groups and fed an AIN-93G diet supplemented with casein (n = 8), EWH (n = 7), or egg white protein (EWP, n = 8) for 14 days. From day 11, the mice underwent a swimming test daily with a weight load equivalent to 10% of their body weight, and the lengths of time they swam were recorded. Blood was sampled for testing on the last day of the study. We observed that increases in the swimming duration through day 14 were significantly greater in the EWH group than in the casein group (p = 0.049). As a factor underlying this, the hexanoyl-lysine level in blood was confirmed to be decreased in the former group (p = 0.013). These findings indicate that consumption of EWH extended the swimming duration and suggest the mechanistic involvement of an antifatigue effect mediated by its antioxidant activity.

Abstract
The medicinal fungus Paecilomyces tenuipes exhibits a variety of pharmacological effects, including antidepressive effects. The chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)‑induced rat model has served an important role in studies involving antidepressants screening. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antidepressant‑like activity of P. tenuipes N45 aqueous extract (PTNE) in a CUMS‑induced rat model of behavioral despair depression. Following 4 weeks of PTNE treatment, behavioral tests were conducted to investigate the antidepressant‑like activities, and the levels of neurotransmitters and hormones in blood and hypothalamus were measured. The results demonstrated that PTNE treatment significantly increased movement in the forced running test, whereas the immobility time was reduced in the hotplate test and the forced swim test in depression‑model rats. PTNE treatment was able to normalize the levels of hormones and neurotransmitters in serum and hypothalamus of CUMS rats. The data demonstrated that PTNE treatment may be a potential pharmaceutical agent in treatment‑resistant depression, and the effects of PTNE may be partly mediated through normalizing the levels of neurotransmitters.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to assess the effects of ursodeoxycholic acid composite (URSA-S) on fatigue in patients with elevated liver function tests and/or fatty liver disease. METHODS In this multi-centre randomised double-blinded placebo-controlled trial, 168 adults who were diagnosed with fatigue based on our criteria and had elevated liver function tests (but not > 5 times the normal level) and/or fatty liver on ultrasonography, were randomised to either the placebo or URSA-S administration group. The rate of improvement of checklist individual strength (CIS) using a cut-off of 76 points at the end of the study (8 weeks), the change in fatigue scale [CIS score and visual analogue scale (VAS)] were evaluated. The adverse effects of URSA-S were also recorded. RESULTS The rate of CIS improvement at the end-point was 79.76% and 45.68% in the therapy and placebo groups, respectively (p < 0.05). The fatigue recovery rate of the CIS score and VAS were higher in the therapy (-25.44 ± 18.57, -27.84 ± 2.70) than in the placebo group (-16.59 ± 17.29, -19.46 ± 2.81) (p < 0.05). The difference in fatigue recovery rate between the therapy and placebo groups was significant after 8 weeks. When analysed separately in patients with abnormal liver function tests and fatty liver disease, the fatigue recovery rate of the CIS score and VAS at 8 weeks was higher in the therapy than in the placebo group (p < 0.05). The frequency of adverse events in the therapy group was not significantly higher than that in the placebo group. CONCLUSION URSA-S is effective for alleviating fatigue in patients with liver dysfunction and/or fatty liver. The adverse effects of URSA-S are not significant. This study is registered at https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02415777.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fatigue is a common symptom both in diseases status and in healthy subjects. Various supplements and nutraceuticals for relieving of fatigue have been used. However, there are a few studies to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of the drug for fatigue alleviation, we conducted using URSA Complex to evaluate the efficacy on physical fatigue via score changes in the checklist individual strength (CIS). METHODS The study was designed as a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, with subjects randomized to one of the two arms, receiving either placebo or URSA Complex administered as identical capsules. The primary efficacy endpoints of this clinical trials are the ratio of improving CIS scores < 76 points in patients at the end (4 weeks). Secondary efficacy variables are as follows one is an improvement of fatigue and the other is an improvement of the liver enzyme. RESULTS The fatigue recovery rate in who had improved CIS scores of < 76 points were 70.0%, 50.9% in the therapy group and placebo group, respectively (P = 0.019). The fatigue recovery rate in CIS score was higher in URSA Complex therapy group than placebo group. The difference between therapy group and placebo group was statistically significant at 4 weeks later, but not 2 weeks. CONCLUSIONS Our results provided that the URSA Complex was effective in alleviating physical fatigue. The adverse event frequency in the therapy groups was similar to that in the placebo group.

Abstract
Paecilomyces hepiali, one of the most valuable and effective Chinese medicinal herbs, possesses potential antioxidant, immunomodulatory, antitumor and anti‑inflammatory properties. The present study aimed to investigate the antifatigue and antihypoxic effects of Paecilomyces hepiali extract (PHC) in a mouse model. Using a rotating rod, forced swimming and running assessment, the antifatigue activity of PHC was determined. PHC administration for 7 days had no effect on mouse horizontal or vertical movement, indicating no neurotoxicity at the selected doses was observed. Using a normobaric hypoxia, sodium nitrite toxicosis and acute cerebral ischemia assessments, PHC was confirmed to possess antihypoxic effects. PHC treatment for 7 days significantly enhanced the serum and liver levels of adenosine triphosphate, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase, prior to and following 60 min of swimming. The levels of antioxidant‑associated proteins in the livers of the mice were analyzed using western blotting. PHC effectively increased the expression levels of phosphorylated (p)‑5'‑monophosphate (AMP)‑activated protein kinase (AMPK), p‑protein kinase B (AKT) and p‑mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). The results of the present study demonstrated that PHC efficiently enhanced endurance from fatigue and had antihypoxic effects through elevation of the antioxidant capacity in the serum and liver, at least in part through the AMPK and AKT/mTOR pathways. These results indicate the potential of this natural product as an antioxidant in the treatment of fatigue, hypoxia and their associated diseases.
