Increased oxidative stress during prolonged endurance exercise may end up with muscle damage, fatigue and decreased physical performance. We have recently shown that acute exercise at moderate intensity induced lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) in trained trotters. The aim of this study was to measure the changes in oxidative stress and antioxid...

We hypothesize that regular exercise enhances antioxidative enzymes in pregnant women, which reduce oxidative stress and, thus, the incidence of preeclampsia. Oxidative stress with enhanced lipid peroxide formation could lead to endothelial dysfunction in preeclampsia. Other conditions, such as increased transferrin saturation and decreased iron-binding capacity, directly and indirectly promote...

introduction: myocardial infarction (mi) is associated with increased oxidative stress and reduced antioxidants. some studies have shown that exercise training increases the serum level antioxidants. therefore, this study investigated the effect of rehabilitation training on antioxidant status in patients with myocardial infarction. materials and methods: in this study, 20 patients with myocard...

Hypercholesterolemia has been suggested to have direct negative effects on myocardial function due to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and increased myocyte death. Mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) is a significant mediator of cell death, which is enhanced by ROS generation and attenuated by exercise training. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect o...

Exercise-induced muscle oxidative stress may be involved in the myopathy associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study was designed to look at whether local exercise induces muscle oxidative stress and whether this oxidative stress may be associated with the reduced muscle endurance in patients with COPD. Quadriceps endurance was measured in 12 patients with COPD (FEV...

coronary artery disease (cad) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in most countries. this disease is directly associated with increased low–density lipoprotein cholesterol (ldl-c) and is conversely associated with high–density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl-c) concentrations. abca1 is the main exporter of phospholipid and cholesterol from cells to lipid-free or minimum lipid apolipoprot...

Thioredoxin (TRX) is a stress-inducible protein with diverse intracellular functions, which is expressed under conditions of oxidative stress. Exercise is known to cause oxidative stress by the generation of oxygen radicals from various biological pathways. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of TRX induction of cellular extracts prepared from peripheral blood mononuclear cells...

It is now well established that after menopause cardiometabolic disorders become more common. Recently, resistance exercise has been recommended as a complement to aerobic (combined training, CT) for the treatment of cardiometabolic diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of CT in hypertensive ovariectomized rats undergoing fructose overload in blood pressure variability (BP...
