Hemorheological and actoprotective activity of Serratula coronata extract in exhausting physical exercise in rats

Studies on rat model of exhausting physical exercise showed that Serratula coronata extract administered in a dose of 150 mg/kg for 14 days exhibited hemorheological activity, which manifested in reduced blood viscosity and erythrocyte aggregation and in increased erythrocyte deformability. Actoprotective effect of the test extract was observed only in trained animals.
