Abstract

Aim: Resistance training and spirulina supplementation change the expression of genes involved in the antioxidant pathway. This study aimed to investigate the effects of resistance training and spirulina supplementation on the gene expression of some oxidative stress parameters in the heart muscle of male rats. Methods: 32 male rats weighing 150±20 grams were divided into four groups, which included control (CO), resistance training (RT), spirulina (SP), and resistance training with spirulina (RTS). Spirulina was orally administered to rats in SP and RTS groups at 200 mg/kg daily. The resistance training protocol consisted of eight weeks of climbing a 1-meter high ladder. The expression level of the dependent variables (SOD, CAT, GPx, and MDA) of the study was measured using the Real-time PCR method. We used Two-way ANOVA in SPSS (P
