Abstract

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the participation of plasma PON1 (paraoxonase activity [PON] and arylesterase activity [ARE]) in antioxidant defense in response to a single bout of maximal exercise. PON, ARE, lipid profile, lipid peroxidation (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances [TBARS]), total antioxidant status (ferric reducing ability of plasma [FRAP]), concentration of uric acid [UA], and total bilirubin (TBil) were determined in the plasma before, at the bout and 2 h after maximal exercise on a treadmill in young sportsmen. Chosen physiological parameters also were controlled during maximal exercise. Following maximal exercise, the unaltered level of TBARS and increased FRAP were registered. ARE increment was the highest (37.6%) of all measured variables but lasted for a short time. UA increment was lower than ARE but long-lasting and correlated with FRAP. PON activity increment was associated with the combined effect of body weight, lean, body mass index (BMI) and basal metabolic rate (BMR). We conclude that PON1 is a co-factor of the first line of antioxidant defense during maximal exercise. Its activity is associated with body composition and not the physical fitness of the subjects.

Keywords: PON1 ACTIVITY, ANTIOXIDANT DEFENSE, EXERCISE, FITNESS, LIPID PROFILE
