Effects Alliume Satium and Silybum Marianum Supplements with four Weeks Incremental Training on Some Serum Indicators of Serum Muscle and Liver Damage in Wrestlers

Bakground: Strenuous exercise, particularly eccentric contractions can lead to exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of garlic and silybum marianum supplements with incremental training on some serum indicators of muscle and liver damage in wrestlers. Methods: Thirty wrestlers with selectivly and random were divided into 3 groups of 10 participants: "Exercise with garlic supplement, exercise with silybum marianum supplement, and placebo with training". Written consents were received from everyone. Garlic and silybum marianum supplements each day three times at 300 mg for four weeks. In the baseline, pre-test and post test 24h after practice, the vessel with the same training volume of the venous blood sample was taken. Serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) enzymes were measured using autoanalyzer and kit. Data were analyzed using repeated measures and ANOVA. Results: The levels of AST, CPK, and ALT in garlic and silybum marianum group was lower than placebo group and statistical results showed significant differences between groups. LDH levels in garlic group were significantly decreased compared to placebo and silybum marianum group. Garlic and silybum marianum supplementation significantly reduced LDH, AST, CPK, and ALT. Conclusion: According to the results of the study, it can be concluded that long-term exercise can lead to decrease in serum markers of muscle and liver injury, but garlic and silybum marianum supplements can better counteract the enzymes produced in 24 hours after practice.
