Abstract:Many types of muscular exercise promote the production of reactive oxygen species and result in oxidative stress, as evidenced by increased levels of lipid peroxidation products in both blood plasma and saliva. PURPOSE: To assess the agreement between quantitative measurements of lipid peroxidation products in plasma and saliva of athletes at rest and following the Åstrand-Rhyming test. METHODS: 20 elite athletes, aged 18-22 years, participated in the study. Athletes underwent the Åstrand-Rhyming cycle ergomet… Show more
