Effect of cocoa products and its polyphenolic constituents on exercise performance and exercise-induced muscle damage and inflammation: A review of clinical trials
(2019)In recent years, the consumption of chocolate and, in particular, dark chocolate has been “rehabilitated” due to its high content of cocoa antioxidant polyphenols. Although it is recognized that regular exercise improves ... -
The Effect of Physical Exercise on Oxidation Capacity and Utero-Placental Circulation in Pregnancies with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Uncomplicated Pregnancies, a Pilot Study
(2022)Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with aggravated oxidation capacity and utero-placental circulation, while aerobic exercise could improve both. The study aims to assess oxidation capacity and ... -
Effect of whey vs. soy protein supplementation on recovery kinetics following speed endurance training in competitive male soccer players: a randomized controlled trial
(2021)Background: Soccer-specific speed-endurance training induces short-term neuromuscular fatigue and performance deterioration over a 72-h recovery period, associated with elevated markers of exercise-induced muscle damage. ... -
Effects of acute exercise on liver function and blood redox status in heavy drinkers
(2015)Excessive alcohol consumption can induce oxidative stress, resulting in the development of several diseases. Exercise has been reported to prevent and/or improve a number of health issues through several mechanisms, including ... -
Effects of sheep/goat whey protein dietary supplementation on the redox status of rats
(2018)The purpose of the present study is to estimate the effects of sheep/goat whey protein dietary supplementation on the redox status of blood and tissues of rats. Twelve male Wistar rats were divided into the control group ... -
Enhanced erythrocyte antioxidant status following an 8-week aerobic exercise training program in heavy drinkers
(2018)Alcohol-induced oxidative stress is involved in the development and progression of various pathological conditions and diseases. On the other hand, exercise training has been shown to improve redox status, thus attenuating ... -
Enhancement of Antioxidant Mechanisms and Reduction of Oxidative Stress in Chickens after the Administration of Drinking Water Enriched with Polyphenolic Powder from Olive Mill Waste Waters
(2017)The aim of the study was to examine the effects of a polyphenolic powder from olive mill wastewater (OMWW) administered through drinking water, on chickens' redox status. Thus, 75 chickens were divided into three groups. ... -
Evidence of a Redox-Dependent Regulation of Immune Responses to Exercise-Induced Inflammation
(2016)We used thiol-based antioxidant supplementation (n-acetylcysteine, NAC) to determine whether immune mobilisation following skeletal muscle microtrauma induced by exercise is redox-sensitive in healthy humans. According to ... -
Evidence of blood and muscle redox status imbalance in experimentally induced renal insufficiency in a rabbit model
(2019)Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is accompanied by a disturbed redox homeostasis, especially in end-stage patients, which is associated with pathological complications such as anemia, atherosclerosis, and muscle atrophy. ... -
Exercise in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency: Harmful or harmless? A narrative review
(2019)Objectives. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, theoretically, renders red blood cells (RBC) susceptible to oxidative stress. G6PD deficiency has also been found in other types of cells than RBC, such as ... -
Exercise-induced oxidative damage in a person with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency
(2004)The purpose of this case study was to examine the effects of a single submaximal aerobic workout on the extent of oxidative stress biomarkers in blood in a patient with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) ... -
Exercise-induced reductive stress is a protective mechanism against oxidative stress in peripheral blood mononuclear cells
(2018)Eccentric exercise is a well-studied modality that induces oxidative stress and muscle damage. Furthermore, it promotes inflammatory response in which peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are the major mediators. ... -
Extracts from the mediterranean food plants Carthamus lanatus, Cichorium intybus, and Cichorium spinosum enhanced GSH levels and increased Nrf2 expression in human endothelial cells
(2018)The Mediterranean diet is considered to prevent several diseases. In the present study, the antioxidant properties of six extracts from Mediterranean plant foods were assessed. The extracts' chemical composition analysis ... -
Feed supplemented with polyphenolic byproduct from olive mill wastewater processing improves the redox status in blood and tissues of piglets
(2015)In the present study, a polyphenolic byproduct from olive mill wastewater (OMWW) was used for making piglet feed with antioxidant activity. For examining the antioxidant capacity of the feed, 30 piglets of 20 d old were ... -
Glutathione S-transferase polymorphisms and onset age in alpha-synuclein A53T mutant Parkinson's disease
(2007)Monogenic forms of Parkinson's disease (PD) provide an opportunity to examine mechanisms underlying phenotypic variation. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) has detoxification and antioxidative functions. To screen genetic ... -
Grape pomace extract exerts antioxidant effects through an increase in GCS levels and GST activity in muscle and endothelial cells
(2015)In a previous study, we demonstrated that a grape pomace extract (GPE) exerted antioxidant activity in endothelial (EA. hy926) and muscle (C2C12) cells through an increase in glutathione (GSH) levels. In the present study, ... -
Grape pomace improves performance, antioxidant status, fecal microbiota and meat quality of piglets
(2018)In the present study, grape pomace (GP) was used as feed additive in the diet of weaned piglets in order to develop innovative feedstuffs and to investigate their potential beneficial effects on welfare, productivity and ... -
Gsh levels affect weight loss in individuals with metabolic syndrome and obesity following dietary therapy
