Effects of acute exetcise on serum vitamin E levels in physically trained and untrained healthy adults

ABSTRACT

This study was carried out to evaluate changes in serum vitamin E levels in physically trained and untrained adults after an acute bout of physical exercise. Results indicate a significant rise in 1-hour post exercise serum vitamin E levels in trained group in comparsion to their immediate post exercise levels. No such increase was found in untrained group individuals, whose 1-hour post exercise serum vitamin E levels remained almost same as immediate post exercise levels. It can be concluded therefore that exercise training results in increased mobilization of vitamin E from it depots after exercise
