Abstract :Objective: Our aim was to determine the effects of exercise on blood lipids especially on HDL- cholesterol and the oxidant-antioxidant status and associations between blood lipids, and the oxidant-antioxidant status. Methods: Blood lipids, antioxidant enzymes like erythrocyte GpX and SOD, plasma TBARS as an indicator of lipid peroxidation, total antioxidant status, antioxidant molecules like albumin, uric acid, and biluribin were measured in healthy young sedentary and exercising men. Our study group was composed of volunteers from the navy ; 34 were sedentary insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Group A); while 44 exercised 7-14 hours insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Group Bl); and 35 exercised 42 hours insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Group Bl I); weekly. Results: Mean insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(standard deviation); of HDL- Cholesterol in Groups A, Bl, and Bll were 35.7insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(7.3);, 36.7insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(9.6);, and 35.3insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( 9.7); mg/dl respectively. Similarly mean insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(standard deviations); for antioxidant/oxidant status were found as follows: GpX :17.4insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(7.9);, 22.2insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(7.6);, and 29.1insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(7.6);; SOD: 2249.6insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1263);, 1835insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(689);, and 1594insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(510); U/ gHb ; for total antioxidant status insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TAS);: 1.8insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.46);, 2.0insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.9);, and 1.9insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.4);mmol/L; TBARS: 0.48insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.16);, 0.83insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.57);, and 0.63insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.08); nmol/L. Conclusion: No favorable effects of exercise on blood lipids were detected, however the effect of exercise on fibrinogen was beneficial . SOD decreased and GpX increased significantly with exercise. There was no significant difference in TAS among the sedentary and exercising groups.
