“…The results showed that athletes and non-athletes did not differ significantly in levels of investigated prooxidants (O 2 •-, H 2 O 2 , • NO, TBARS), but athletes had significantly higher levels of SOD and lower level of CAT activity. Higher SOD activity in athletes was also found in other studies, including studies involving karate athletes (Naghizadeh et al, 2009) soccer players (Briites et al, 1999;Cazzola et al, 2003), rugby players (Evelson et al, 2002;), jump-trained subjects (Ortenblad et al, 1997) and students of Physical Education and Sports Sciences (Balakrishnan & Anuradh, 1998). Regarding CAT activity, there is a number of previous studies that also found that it's acitivity is decreased in athletes compared with controls, but there are also a number of studies that reported no change in CAT activity as a consequence of exercise training (Miyazaki et al, 2001;Lekhi et al, 2007;Metin et al, 2003;Ortenblad et al, 1997;Balakrishnan & Anuradh, 1998).…”

“…According to some studies, anaerobically trained subjects have a better antioxidant enzyme activity in blood, in tissues and especially in working muscle (Evelson et al, 2002;Marzatiko et al, 1997;(Radak et al, 2008b). It was also shown that a controlled protocol of endurance training is followed by an increase in antioxidant enzyme activity in plasma and other tissues (Tanskanen et al, 2010;Selamoglu et al, 2000;Lekhi et al, 2007).…”

“…Many studies have compared the antioxidant status of trained and untrained subjects at rest (Ørtenblad et al, 1997;Balakrishnan & Anuradh 1998;Brites et al, 1999;Evelson et al, 2002;Cazzola et al, 2003;Gougoura et al, 2007;Yamaner, 2010), but, to our knowledge, except the study of Ørtenblad and coworkers (1997) that analyzed blood antioxidant status in untrained and jump-trained humans following six bouts of 30-s continuous jumping, no study has compared the athletes' and non-athletes' pro/antioxidant responses to acute exercise of maximal intensity. The hypothesis of the first part of that study was that athletes would have not only higher activity of antioxidants in rest, but that the extent of redox disturbance induced by a maximal progressive exercise test would be lower in athletes compared with non-athletes.…”

“…Since superoxide dismutase (SOD), the first line defense enzyme in red blood cells (RBCs), was the most commonly found to be the one that changes under the influence of both acute and chronic exercise (Miyazaki et al, 2001;Groussard et al, 2003;Ookawara et al, 2003) and the one that differentiates between well trained subjects and controls (Evelson et al, 2002;Metin et al, 2003;Brites et al, 1999), we hypothesized that the level of its pre-exercise (basal) activity may determine the extent of oxidative stress induced by acute exercise. So, one of our recent papers dealt with the differences in response to acute exercise in subjects with different basal level of SOD activity (Djordjevic et al, 2010a).…”

“…Finaud et al 15 stressed that oxidative stress and antioxidant capacity can be modified by magnitude of training loads in team sport such as rugby. Evelson et al 16 determined that resting SOD activity in well-trained rugby players was higher compared with sedentary men. In the present study, SOD activity was alike in the groups of sedentary individuals with tetraplegia and wheelchair rugby players with tetraplegia but was lower (approximately 20%) in the group of able-bodied rugby players compared with sedentary persons.…”

Study design: A cross-sectional study with comparison group. Objectives: To examine the effect of rugby training on the blood antioxidant capacity in able-bodied and wheelchair rugby players with tetraplegia. Setting: Poland. Methods: Four groups of subjects participated in the study: sedentary able-bodied males (group SA, n¼19), sedentary males with tetraplegia (group ST, n¼10), able-bodied rugby players (group RA, n¼22) and wheelchair rugby players with tetraplegia (group RT, n¼14). The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR) and catalase (CAT) were determined in erythrocyte hemolysates, whereas glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity was determined in whole-blood hemolysates. Concentrations of total antioxidant status (TAS) was determined in plasma. Results: SOD activity was significantly higher in the group SA compared with group ST and group RA. No significant differences occurred within the tetraplegic groups: RT and ST. Resting CAT and GPX activities were significantly higher in both the groups of rugby players than in the respective group of sedentary males. There were no differences in GR activity among all the studied groups. Plasma TAS concentration was higher in both the groups of able-bodied males compared with the respective groups of tetraplegics. The present study is the first to conduct an evaluation of wheelchair rugby training-induced adaptations to oxidative stress in individuals with tetraplegia. Conclusion: Adaptive response to training was similar in both able-bodied and wheelchair rugby players, and it was characterized by increased erythrocyte CAT and GPX activities in resting conditions improving resistance to oxidative stress.

The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of astaxanthin (Asx) on paraoxonase (PON1) activities and oxidative stress status in soccer players. Forty soccer players were randomly assigned in a double-blind fashion to Asx and placebo (P) group. Blood samples were obtained before, 45 and 90 days after supplementation. PON1 activity was assessed by using two substrates: paraoxon and diazoxon. The oxidative stress biomarkers were also examined: total sulphydryl group content (-SH groups), thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), advanced oxidation protein products and redox balance. The significant interaction effect of supplementation and training (p < 0.05) on PON1 activity toward paraoxon was observed. The PON1 activity toward diazoxon increased in Asx group after 90 days (p < 0.01), while there was no significant difference in P group. SH groups content rose from pre- to post-supplementation period only in Asx group (supplementation and training, p < 0.05; training, p < 0.01). TBARS levels decreased after 45 days and increased after 90 days of regular soccer training in both groups (training, p < 0.001). Redox balance decreased significantly in response to the regular training, regardless of treatment group (training, p < 0.001). Asx supplementation might increase total SH groups content and improve PON1 activity through protection of free thiol groups against oxidative modification.

Higher antioxidant defences in plasma and low density lipoproteins from rugby players

Abstract: Given that intermediate density and low density lipoproteins represent the most atherogenic fraction, this finding, in combination with the improved lipid and antioxidant status, would add to the link between regular physical activity and protection against cardiovascular disease.
