Protocol summary

Summary
The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) supplementation on markers of oxidative stress and inflammatory response during a single bout of exhaustive exercise.Inclusion criteria were, participants aged between 21 and 25, either sex and exclusion criteria were, subjects who were consuming energetic drugs, smokers and those having any type of regular sport activity. In a randomized placebo-controlled double-blind clinical trial, thirty healthy, untrained young university students from both sex (males and females) with the age between 21 and 25 were selected and divided into 2 groups,including case (600 mg of effervescent tablets of N-acetyl Cysteine ) and the control group( placebo Neutral cellulose ) .Starting 24 hours before the supplementation ,blood samples were taken from all the subjects. The next blood samples were collected just before the exercise started, immediately after the exhaustive exercise (on flat treadmill running) and after one hour at rest. Malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidative capacity (TAC), CRP, BMI and Vo2 max were determined.We hypothesize that consumption of oral N-acetyl Cysteine before an exhaustive exercise reduces the parameters of oxidation stress and inflammation.
