To study the effect of meridian scraping on the metabolism of free radicals in liver and exercise capacity of training rats, the model of treadmill endurance training rats with meridian scraping was built. 24 SD male healthy rats were randomly divided into the quiet group (A), training control group (B) and Meridian Scraping plus exercise group (C). After 7 weeks incremental endurance training for B group and C group, the superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), serum glutamic aminotransferase (ALT) activity , malondialdehyde dirty (MDA) and the glycogen content from liver tissue of three groups were determined. The results showed that the liver meridian scraping can increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes, scavenge liver tissue free radicals caused by exercise training, promote glycogen synthesis and improve exercise capacity of exercise training rats.
