Abstract: Aims: extracts. Materials and methods: for 14 consecutive days. Subsequently, a weight-bearing swimming experiment was conducted to assess the mice's exhaustion time and evaluate the anti-fatigue properties of the recipes. Sleep-aiding effects were analyzed by measuring the sleep latency and duration. Furthermore, levels of blood lactic acid, serum urea nitrogen, hepatic glycogen, muscle glycogen, and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured in the livers and muscles. Key findings: extracts can be used for anti-fatigue and or aid in sleeping, depending on how they are prepared and administered. Significance: recipes that are specifically designed to help with anti-fatigue and sleep.
