Effect of moderate exercise on Antioxidant and free radical status in Females
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
Exercise is known to alter antioxidant and free radical status. High intensity exercise is generally known to induce oxidative stress. However the effects of moderate intensity exercise on females is not clearly known. With this background we tried to evaluate the antioxidant and free radical status in healthy females. 40 healthy adult female were divided in two groups, Group I (n=20) this was study group they were allowed to undergo trained moderate intensity isotonic exercise under supervision for 6 weeks and Group II (n=20) acted as controls. Blood samples from both groups were collected prior and post training for comparison. The mean value of Malondialdehyde (MDA) in group I prior to training was 215.67 ± 15.56 nmol% and in Group II it was 212.46 ± 19.03 nmol%. The post training values in Group I was 398.75 ± 25.45 nmol% and group II were 245.98 ± 34 nmol%. Serum uric acid levels were also recorded but no significant changes were observed in their levels before and after exercises. Moderate intensity exercise in females increased the free radical formation but no significant increase in antioxidant status was observed. It is concluded that the free radical formation and oxidative stress in exercise is a necessary factor for muscle adaptation to occur and long term exercise produces beneficial effect by causing better muscle adaptation.
