Abstract

Aim: Ubiquinone is one of the antioxidants that is prescribed by experts to reduce oxidative damage. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of ubiquinone supplementation on some oxidative stress indices in athletes and non-athlete men. Methods: In this study, 44 athletic and non-athlete subjects were divided into experimental groups (11 athletes, 11 non-athletes) and controls (11 athletes and 11 non-athletes). First, were taken 5 ml of venous blood. Then, for two weeks a day, 2.5 mg/kg ubiquinone was administered and after 2 weeks, was performed a second stage blood sampling. Results: Serum total antioxidant capacity in non-athletes before taking ubiquinone was 0.84±0.68 and after taking ubiquinone was 1.01±0.86 mmo/ml (P≤0.05). Amount of malondialdehyde, before taking ubiquinone was 2.54±0.28 and after taking ubiquinone was 2.54±0.28 nm ml (P≥0.05). Also in athlete’s mean capacity antioxidation before taking ubiquinone was 0.72±0.18 and after ubiquinone was 0.85±0.34 mmol per ml (P≤0.05) and malondialdehyde before taking ubiquinone was 1.68±0.58 and after taking ubiquinone was 1.64±0.36 nmol/ml (P≥0.05). Conclusion: Consumption of ubiquinone can cause increase antioxidant capacity in athletes and non-athletes. It should be noted that basal levels of total antioxidant capacity and malondialdehyde levels were higher in non-athletes than athletes.
