To evaluate the hypoxia tolerance activity and mechanisms of action of a compound formulation consisting of Olea europaea fruit-Lycium barbarum-Panax quinquefolius compound (Olea europaea fruit polyphenols:Lycium barbarum extract:Panax quinquefolius extract 5:5:1, m:m:m).
BALB/C mice were orally administered the compound for 30 consecutive days. Hypoxia tolerance was assessed using a normobaric hypoxia test (referencing Health food functional evaluation methods, 2023 edition) to determine survival time. The hypoxia tolerance mechanism was investigated by analyzing lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, malondialdehyde(MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in brain and lung tissues.
The Olea europaea fruit-Lycium barbarum-Panax quinquefolius compound significantly prolonged hypoxia survival time in mice [low,medium and high dose groups: (30.35±5.63), (37.53±6.72) and (39.13±8.73) min, respectively, significantly outperformed the control group (22.91±1.61) min; P<0.05 or P<0.001], and the effect was dose-dependent. Its effect was superior to that of the positive controls [Rhodiola oral solution: (26.50±2.44) min; Hongyi capsules:(28.93±6.67) min]. The mechanism was that it reduced LDH activity (reducing anaerobic metabolism) and MDA content (inhibiting lipid peroxidation), and increased SOD activity (enhancing free radical scavenging ability) in brain and lung tissues.
The Olea europaea fruit-Lycium barbarum-Panax quinquefolius compound exerts hypoxia tolerance effects by modulating oxidative stress pathways, including free radical scavenging, lipid peroxidation inhibition and antioxidant enzyme activity maintenance, and thus possesses the potential to be developed as a functional food.
