Probiotic Product

This randomized double-blind and controlled single-center clinical trial was designed to evaluate the effect of a 6-week intake of a probiotic product (1 capsule/day) vs. a placebo on an oxidative stress model of physical exercise (high intensity and duration) in male cyclists (probiotic group, n = 22; placebo, n = 21). This probiotic included three lyophilized strains (Bifidobacterium longum CECT 7347, Lactobacillus casei CECT 9104, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus CECT 8361). Study variables were urinary isoprostane, serum malondialdehyde (MDA), serum oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL), urinary 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxiguanosine (8-OHdG), serum protein carbonyl, serum glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and serum superoxide dismutase (SOD). At 6 weeks, as compared with baseline, significant differences in 8-OHdG (Δ mean difference −10.9 (95% CI −14.5 to −7.3); p < 0.001), MDA (Δ mean difference −207.6 (95% CI −349.1 to −66.1; p < 0.05), and Ox-LDL (Δ mean difference −122.5 (95% CI −240 to −4.5); p < 0.05) were found in the probiotic group only. Serum GPx did not increase in the probiotic group, whereas the mean difference was significant in the placebo group (477.8 (95% CI 112.5 to 843.2); p < 0.05). These findings suggest an antioxidant effect of this probiotic on underlying interacting oxidative stress mechanisms and their modulation in healthy subjects. The study was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03798821).

Abstract Background: High intensity and endurance exercises lead to exercise-induced oxidative stress (EIOS), exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), and inflammation, which are the influencing factors on muscle soreness, localized swelling, and sport performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of Tribulus terrestris (TT) as an herbal supplement with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties on the nutritional, oxidative stress, and anti/inflammatory status, as well as the sport performance of recreational runners.Methods/design: This study is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, which will be conducted among recreational runners of Tabriz stadiums, Iran. Thirty-four recreational runners will be selected, and participants will be assigned randomly to two groups: to receive 500 mg TT supplement or placebo capsules twice daily for two weeks. Both groups will do the high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts during the study. Baseline and post-intervention body composition, muscle fatigue, and soreness parameters will be assessed. In addition, assessment of malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) will be done during three blood samplings.Discussion: This study will be the first to assess the potential effects of TT in recreational runners. Our results will contribute to the growing body of knowledge regarding TT supplementation on the nutritional, oxidative stress, anti/inflammatory status and sport performance in recreational runners.Trial registration: Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (www.irct.ir) (ID: IRCT20150205020965N8).

Although it is now well established that heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is associated with marked inflammation and a prooxidant state that is accompanied by vascular dysfunction, whether acute antioxidant (AO) administration can effectively target these disease-related decrements has not been evaluated. Thus, the present study sought to evaluate the efficacy of an acute over-the-counter AO cocktail (600 mg α-lipoic acid, 1,000 mg vitamin C, and 600 IU vitamin E) to mitigate inflammation and oxidative stress, and subsequently improve nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and vascular function, in patients with HFpEF. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and reactive hyperemia (RH) were evaluated to assess conduit vessel and microvascular function, respectively, 90 min after administration of either placebo (PL) or AO in 16 patients with HFpEF (73 ± 10 yr, EF 54–70%) using a double-blind, crossover design. Circulating biomarkers of inflammation (C-reactive protein, CRP), oxidative stress (malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl), free radical concentration (EPR spectroscopy), antioxidant capacity, ascorbate and NO bioavailability (plasma nitrate, [Formula: see text], and nitrite, [Formula: see text]) were also assessed. FMD improved following AO administration (PL: 3.49 ± 0.7%, AO: 5.83 ± 1.0%), whereas RH responses were similar between conditions (PL: 428 ± 51 mL, AO: 425 ± 51 mL). AO administration decreased CRP (PL: 4,429 ± 705 ng/mL, AO: 3,664 ± 520 ng/mL) and increased ascorbate (PL: 30.0 ± 2.9 µg/mL, AO: 45.1 ± 3.7 µg/mL) and [Formula: see text] (PL: 182 ± 21 nM, AO: 213 ± 24 nM) but did not affect other biomarkers. Together, these data suggest that acute AO administration can exert anti-inflammatory effects and improve conduit artery vasodilation, but not microvascular function, in patients with HFpEF.

Appl. Physiol.83(1): 189–195, 1997.—Fish oil supplementation and physical exercise may induce oxidative stress. We tested the effects of 8 wk of α-tocopherol (vitamin E) and fish oil (FO) supplementation on resting and exercise-induced oxidative stress. Rats ( n = 80) were divided into groups supplemented with FO, FO and vitamin E (FOVE), soy oil (SO), and SO and vitamin E (SOVE), and for FOVE and SOVE they were divided into corresponding exercise groups (FOVE-Ex and SOVE-Ex). Lipid peroxidation [thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances (TBARS)] was 33% higher in FO compared with SO in the liver, but oxidative protein damage (carbonyl levels) remained similar in both liver and red gastrocnemius muscle (RG). Vitamin E supplementation, compared with FO and SO, markedly decreased liver and RG TBARS, but liver TBARS remained 32% higher in FOVE vs. SOVE. Vitamin E also markedly decreased liver and RG protein carbonyl levels, although levels in FOVE and SOVE were similar. Exercise increased liver and RG TBARS and RG protein carbonyl levels markedly, with similar levels in FOVE-Ex and SOVE-Ex. FO increased lipid peroxidation but not protein oxidation in a tissue-specific manner. Vitamin E markedly decreased lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation in both FOVE and SOVE, although liver lipid peroxidation remained higher in FOVE. Despite higher levels of hepatic lipid peroxidation at rest in FOVE compared with SOVE, liver appeared to be relatively less susceptible to exercise-induced oxidative stress in FOVE.

AbstractBackgroundIrisin, a newly discovered hormone, is secreted into the circulation from skeletal muscles in response to physical exercise. The biochemical parameters related to irisin secretion have not been sufficiently investigated yet. The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of exercise on the level of irisin and its correlation with biochemical and oxidative stress parameters.Materials and methodsIn this pre- and post-test observational study, 39 healthy male volunteers from a military training setting were followed up on between September and November 2015. The individuals who were included in this study were between 22 and 27 years old with an average age of 24. Those with inflammatory disorders or chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus were excluded from the study. The parameters were measured at the baseline, at 4 weeks, and at 8 weeks of intervention.ResultsThe study found that the systolic and diastolic blood pressures substantially decreased after 8 weeks of intervention. The cholesterol-to-HDL ratio and glucose levels were significantly higher at the baseline compared to 8 weeks. Total protein and albumin were significantly higher following 4 weeks (0.25 and 0.21 g/dL) and 8 weeks (0.32 and 0.16 g/dL), respectively. Meanwhile, total globulin and irisin increased following 8 weeks of the intervention by only 0.16 g/dL and 0.41 μg/mL, respectively. The high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) decreased following 8 weeks (−0.81 μg/mL). The protein carbonyl (PC) decreased following 4 weeks by only 0.34 nmol/L.ConclusionsThis study demonstrated that military training enhanced irisin hormone secretion following 8 weeks of military exercise.

AbstractA randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted, in order to evaluate if Lactobacillus helveticus Lafti® L10 (Lallemand Health Solutions, Montreal, Canada) supplementation during three months could influence oxidative markers in the population of elite athletes: triathletes, cyclists and endurance athletes. Twenty-two elite athletes were randomized to either placebo (n = 12) or probiotic (n = 10) groups. The probiotic group received 2x1010 colony forming units of Lafti® L10. Before and after the supplementation serum samples were collected. Markers of oxidative stress and anti-oxidative defense: superoxide dismutase (SOD), paraoxonase (PON), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, pro-oxidant-antioxidant balance, oxidative stress index, bilirubin, uric acid and albumin were determined in serum. Parameters of lipid status, as well as susceptibility to copper-induced oxidation of LDL particles in vitro were also determined. There was a significant interaction effect for MDA (p = 0.039), with a decrease in MDA in the probiotic group only (p = 0.049). There was a significant interaction effect for AOPP (p = 0.037), with a significant decrease in the probiotic group (p = 0.045). Interaction effect for SOD was approaching to formal significance (p = 0.108) and the post-hoc test showed a significant decrease in the probiotic group (p = 0.041) only. A significant correlation between AOPP and SOD (p = 0.012, r = -0.40) was found in the probiotic group at the end of the study. PON1 activity was decreased in both the probiotic (p = 0.032) and placebo group (p = 0.035). No significant changes in the remainder of the evaluated parameters were noted. In conclusion, probiotic strain Lafti® L10 exerts certain antioxidant potential, but further research is needed.

Uric acid (UA) possesses free-radical-scavenging properties, and systemic administration is known to increase serum antioxidant capacity. However, it is not known whether this protects against oxidative stress. The effects of raising UA concentration were studied during acute aerobic physical exercise in healthy subjects, as a model of oxidative stress characterized by increased circulating 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α (8-iso-PGF2α) concentrations. Twenty healthy subjects were recruited to a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled crossover study, and underwent systemic administration of 0.5 g of UA in 250 ml of 0.1% lithium carbonate/4% dextrose vehicle or vehicle alone as control. subjects performed high-intensity aerobic exercise for 20 min to induce oxidative stress. Plasma 8-iso-PGF2α concentrations were determined at baseline, after exercise and after recovery for 20 min. A single bout of high-intensity exercise caused a significant increase in plasma 8-iso-PGF2α concentrations from 35.0±4.7 pg/ml to 45.6±6.7 pg/ml (P<0.01). UA administration raised serum urate concentration from 293±16 to 487±16 μmol/l (P<0.001), accompanied by increased serum antioxidant capacity from 1786±39 to 1899±45 μmol/l (P<0.01). UA administration abolished the exercise-induced elevation of plasma 8-iso-PGF2α concentrations. High UA concentrations are associated with increased serum antioxidant capacity and reduced oxidative stress during acute physical exercise in healthy subjects. These findings indicate that the antioxidant properties of UA are of biological importance in vivo.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the antioxidant effect of Propofol and N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) on intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rats by determining carbonyl protein level. METHODS: Forty Wistar rats were randomly assigned into the following groups: Control; Sham; I/R with Propofol; I/R with Propofol and NAC; I/R with Ketamine and Xylazine. The I/R groups underwent 60 minutes of ischemia and an equal period of reperfusion. Blood samples, collected by cardiac punction, were centrifuged for plasma obtainment. Protein carbonyl level in plasma samples was determined by immunoblotting. RESULTS: No significant difference in protein carbonyl level was found between Control and Sham groups (P>0.05). The highest reduction in protein carbonyl level (P<0.05) was obtained with the administration of Propofol and NAC (Group 4) in intestinal I/R procedure. CONCLUSION: The administration of Propofol and NAC showed the best antioxidant effect on oxidative stress in rats that underwent intestinal I/R procedure, suggesting a synergistic interaction.

Physical exercise has been shown to be an important modulator of the antioxidant system and neuroprotective in several diseases and treatments that affect the central nervous system. In this sense, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of physical exercise in dynamic balance, motor coordination, exploratory locomotor activity and in the oxidative and immunological balance of rats treated with vincristine (VCR). For that, 40 adult rats were divided into two groups: exercise group (6 weeks of swimming, 1h/day, 5 days/week, with overload of 5% of body weight) and sedentary group. After training, rats were treated with 0.5 mg/kg of vincristine sulfate for two weeks or with the same dose of 0.9% NaCl. The behavioral tests were conducted 1 and 7 days after each dose of VCR. On day 15 we carried out the biochemical analyzes of the cerebellum. The physical exercise was able to protect against the loss of dynamic balance and motor coordination and, had effect per se in the exploratory locomotor activity, and neutralize oxidative stress, damage DNA and immune damage caused by VCR up to 15 days after the end of the training protocol. In conclusion, we observed that previous physical training protects of the damage motor induced by vincristine.Key-words: exercise, oxidative stress, neuroprotection, cerebellum.
