Oxidative Stress Risk Is Increased with a Sedentary Lifestyle during Aging in Mexican Women

Abstract

Oxidative stress (OS) increases during the human aging process, and the sedentary lifestyle could be a prooxidant factor. In this study, we determine the effect of sedentary lifestyle on OS during the aging process in Mexican women. A longitudinal study of two-year follow-up was carried out with 177 community-dwelling women (40-69 y) from Mexico City. We measured as OS markers plasma malondialdehyde, erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), total plasma antioxidant status, uric acid level, antioxidant gap, and SOD/GPx ratio. To define OS using all the markers, we defined cut-off values of each parameter based on the 90th percentile of young healthy subjects and, we calculated a stress score (SS) ranging from 0 to 7, which represented the intensity of the marker modifications. All the women answered a structured questionnaire about prooxidant factors, including physical activity specially the type of activity, frequency, and duration, and they answered Spanish versions of self-assessment tests for establishing dysthymia and insomnia as potential confounders. Principal component and Poisson regression analysis were used as statistical tools, being two-year OS the primary outcome. The OS was considerate as SS ≥ 4 and sedentary lifestyle as <30 min/day of physical activity, beside several prooxidant factors and age that were covariables. SS is higher in sedentary lifestyle women after the two-year follow-up; although, the difference was statistically significant only in older women. Four principal components were associated with the OS, and 7 out of 8 prooxidant factors were important for the analysis, which were included in the Poisson model. The predictive factors for OS were the sedentary lifestyle (adjusted PR = 2.37, CI95%: 1.30–4.30, p < 0.01 ), and age, in which the risk increases 1.06 (CI95%:1.02–2.11, p < 0.01 ) by each year of age. Our findings suggest that a sedentary lifestyle increases the OS during the aging in Mexican women.

Physical activity can reduce the risk of blood cadmium and blood lead on stroke: Evidence from NHANES

“…(30) Sweating through exercise can enhance the excretion of heavy metals within the body, while research has demonstrated that a sedentary lifestyle can elevate the risk of oxidative stress. (31) Clinical trials focusing on exercise training have revealed a positive correlation between increased physical activity and elevated levels of GPX. (32) Furthermore, animal experiments have indicated that endurance training can induce alterations in the activities of antioxidant enzymes within the spleen, lymph nodes, and thymus, thereby in uencing the aerobic metabolism of these immune-related organs.…”

Pathomechanisms Of Non-Coding RNAs, Hub Genes, and Lifestyle Related To The Oxidative Stress In Type 2 Diabetes And Cardiac Complications.

“…83 NO/inflammation signaling cascade pathway may mediate several diseases, including lung squamous cell carcinoma, colon cancer, depression, and diabetes. [84][85][86][87] One category of nitric oxide synthase factors, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), plays a significant role in managing NO function by stimulating NO synthesis. 88 Ischemia/reperfusion-induced acute kidney injury, ischemia/reperfusion-induced liver injury, hypertension, and steatohepatitis have been highlighted as associated disorders with the PPAR/eNOS axis.…”

“…19 Moreover, long exercise training, overtraining syndrome, and exhausting exercises increase ROS production. 86 In contrast, prolonged and low/moderate-intensity training ameliorates endogenous antioxidant status. Based on the evidence, physical activity could up-regulate mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and NF-κB induces several hub genes and proteins involved in the homeostasis, inflammation, and antioxidant/oxidative intracellular.…”
