Effect of exercise on lipid peroxidation.
OBJECTIVE
The effect of physical exercise on lipid peroxidation was investigated.


METHODS
27 healthy young adult male subjects were included in this study. Urine samples were collected before and after exercises. Urinary malondialdehyde and creatinine levels (Cr) were measured.


RESULTS
Urinary malondialdehyde levels were increased by exercise. While pre-exercise malondialdehyde levels were 5.02 +/- 1.26 nmol/mg Cr, post-exercise levels were 6.13 +/- 1.84 nmol/mg Cr (p < 0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
These findings indicated that physical exercise induced lipid peroxidation.
