Study of Pre and Post Supplementation Green Tea Extracts to MDA Levels
Journal Title: Indonesian Journal of Clinical Pharmacy - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
High intensity exercise (HI) induces oxidative stress. Running for 2400 meters is one of the simple exercise form which can be counted as HI. During HI, increase of oxygen consumption happened in muscle cell resulted in an increase of oxidant level. The aim of the study was to measure the effects of Indonesian green tea supplementation, before and after HI to the level of lipid peroxidation (TBARSMalonyldialdehyde (MDA)). The subjects of study were 42 male students from Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran (FMUP) and Faculty of Physical Exercise, Indonesia University of Education (FPOK-UPI). The subjects were divided into trained and untrained subject. Subjects were divided into groups using Astrand Harvard step test. The purpose of this test was measuring the level of VO2 max. Blood samples for MDA level were collected at 3 hours before and after high intensity aerobic exercise. Oxidative stress was induced by 2400 meters run. The result showed that green tea supplement-ation was effective to decrease MDA plasma level especially after exercise. Green tea could serve as natural antioxidant resources, which potentially can be used as potential sport supplemental drink.
