Effects of aerobic dance exercise on oxidative stress and inflammatory status in abdominal obese women subjects

Abstract

Background: Oxidative stress (OS) and inflammation have been suggested to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of chronic diseases. Oxidative stress and inflammatory markers (IM) may be change after regular physical exercise. However, physical activity affects the redox balance and inflammatory markers in abdominal obese (AO) women are still unclear. Objectives: Aim of this study was to assess OS, total antioxidant and IM on before and after 2 months participation in aerobic dance exercise of 151 obese women. Materials and methods: A total of 151 obese women [median aged=48.0 years] participated in aerobic dance exercise. All women were subjected to physical and medical examination. Venous blood samples were collected for all biochemical examination. Results: At the end of the study, the median of glucose, triglyceride, insulin levels, Model assessment of insulin resistance, malondialdehyde, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin-6 were significantly decreased (p<0.05) and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were significantly increased (p<0.05) after participation in aerobic dance exercise. Oxidative stress, TAC and IM were involved into the adaptive metabolic changes and redox responses induced by physical exercise aerobic dance. Conclusion: Exercise aerobic dance reduced the potential OS, IM and protects the higher risk for developing diseases in AO that pathophysiologically linked to OS and IM.
