Relationship between antioxidant in- take, nutritional factors and biochemical indicators in healthy volunteers
Abstract:
Oxidative stress is an important risk factor for the development of cardiovascular ciseases (CVD) due to the serious damage caused by reactive oxygen species to biomolecules, thus, adequate intake of vitamins with antioxidant properties could prevent or delay the onset of these diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between antioxidant intake, nutritional factors and biochemical markers in a group of healthy individuals in Caracas, Venezuela. The study included 29 participants between 18-40 years of age who underwent three 24-hour dietary recalls, anthropometric measurements [weight, height, waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and % body fat (% BF)] according to the International Biology Program (IBP) methodology. Tn addition, the lipid profile and the concentration of 8-isoprostane as a marker of oxidative stress was determined. The participants took one daily capsule of antioxidant vitamins for.30 days. After treatment with antioxidants, no significant changes in triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (14DL-C) levels were observed. Meanwhile, the 8-isoprostane recorded a significative correlation between before and after treatment (r=0.374; p<0.05). The decline in 8-isoprostane levels was more evident in those individuals with the highest % BF and WC. These findings suggest that antioxidant supplementation decreases oxidative stress in a short period of time, particularly in higher % BF individuals, and might help prevent CVDs.
