[Effect of olive oil on IL-6, TNF-alpha and cortisol hormone levels in active girls after one session of an exhaustive exercise: a brief report]

The aim of this research was to determine the effect of olive oil on interleukin 6 [IL-6], Tumor necrosis factor a [TNF-a] and cortisol hormone in response to exhaustive exercise in active girls. Twenty four healthy girls aged 21-27 years participated in this study. The subjects were randomly assigned to supplement [n=12] and control [n=12] groups. Supplemented group was fed with olive oil for one week. Blood samples were taken in a week before of exercise test, before exercise, immediately and 1 hour after the end of the exercise. There was a significant increase in the level of cortisol, IL-6 and TNF-alpha in the supplement and control groups in compared with a week before of exercise test and before exercise test [P

[Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutaseenzyme of lymphocytic cell gene expression, total antioxidant status and oxidative stress variation fallowing to intensive exercise in young men athletes]

The aim of this research is investigation of Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase enzyme of lymphocytic cell gene expression, total antioxidant status and oxidative stress changes following intensive exercise in young men athletes. This study was a semi-experimental research with a repeated measures design. 20 young men athletes [age range of 21-23 years] participated in this study after signing an informed consent form. Blood sample were collected in pre intensive exercise [grade: 5%, speed: 7/5 mile/h, time: 20 minutes] immediately and recovery [3 hours after exercise test], and Real time-polymerase chain reaction was used for evaluation of Cu/Zn SOD gene expression and autoanalyzer for other markers. H[2]O[2] level and mRNA of Cu/Zn SOD were both increased ,immediately and 3 hours after of exercise [p=0/012, p=0/014], [2.95 +/- 0.84 and 3.37 +/- 0.99] but this changes were not reported significant, but TAS levels are effectively ,raised only in recovery state [p=0/009] [0.86 +/- 0.16]. Intensive exercise increases oxidative stress markers and can weakens the immune system of men athletes, but they raise the activity of antioxidant enzymes in response to threat of free radicals, so Cu/Zn SOD gene expression does not significantly increased

[ relationship between total antioxidant status with creatine phosphokinase and hydrogen peroxide in the athlete girls; influenced by acute exercise training]

The research show that the relationship between antioxidant markers with inflammatory and oxidative stress markers levels changes was not clear, so the purpose of this study is investigation of relationship between total antioxidant status with creatine phosphokinase and hydrogen peroxide in the athlete girls influenced by acute exercise training This study was a semi-experimental research with a repeated measures design and 25 athlete girls within the age range of 21-24 years old volunteered to participate in the research after having expressed their consent through a consent form. Blood sample were collected in the three stages; pre of GXT [Graded exercise test] exercise test [grade: 5%, speed: 12 km/h, time: 20 minutes], immediately and 3 h after exercise test [recovery phase]. Auto analyzer device was used for measurement of total antioxidant status, H[2]O[2] and CPK level, also mixed model methods used for statically analysis. Total antioxidant status [TAS] concentration was faced with a significance increase after of exercise training [p /= 0/065] [0.88 +/- 0.15]. Plasma levels of hydrogen peroxide has not significantly changed after exercise [p >/= 0/255] [2.84 +/- 1.38], and this increase was significant only in the recovery phase [p
