Abstract

This study tried to investigate the effects of jointed grasswort(Salicornia herbacea L.) consumption and combined exercise during 9 weeks on the body composition, blood biochemical parameters and skin function in women of 20 years. A total of 40 female subjects were participated in this study, and they were randomly divided into 4 gropus including placebo group(n=10), jointed grasswort group(n=10), placebo + exercise group(n=10) and jointed grasswort + exercise group(n=10), respectively. In the case of the body composition, jointed grasswort + exercise group indicated higher increase in fat-free mass, muscle mass and skeletal muscle mass than other groups after experiment during 9 weeks(p＜.05). However, jointed grasswort consumption and/or combined exercise program during 9 weeks did not show any beneficial effects for blood lipid profiles or C-reactive protein(CRP) level. With respect to skin function, only jointed grasswort consumption show significanly higher skin moisturing effect than other groups(P＜.05). In summary, data from our study suggest that although jointed grasswort consumption with combined exercise may be useful as the body composition of participants, it likely that only grasswort consumption are beneficial to attain the skin moisturing effect. Further studies using larger sample size and longer study period will be required.
