The effect of exercise intensity on lipid peroxidation.
This study characterizes exercise-induced lipid peroxidation during graded aerobic exercise in seven healthy men and women (36.4 +/- 3 yr). Levels of ethane and pentane in expired breath during cardiopulmonary exercise stress testing were measured at rest, lactic acidosis threshold (LAT), maximal exercise (VO2max), and recovery. Serum malonaldehyde (MDA) levels were measured at rest before exercise and 5 min after maximal exercise. Expired ethane and pentane flux levels were increased above resting levels at LAT, continued to rise at VO2max, then declined during recovery. Serum MDA levels were not significantly different before and after maximal exercise. Substantial exercise-induced lipid peroxidation (by expired ethane and pentane) apparently occurred in healthy individuals at LAT and continued to increase at VO2max, yet rapidly attenuated during post-exercise recovery. These findings indicate that in healthy individuals physical exercise induced lipid peroxidation transiently and that there was a removal of lipid peroxidation byproducts during recovery.
