Background and Aim: Oxidative lipid damage is a reaction that requires the attack of free bases on unsaturated fatty acids with multiple bonds. Garlic with antioxidant effects can reduce the index of cell membrane damage while counteracting the adverse effects of oxidative stress caused by diseases. The aim of the present study was to answer the lipid peroxidation index to long-term consumption of garlic following strenuous exercise.
Methods: An experimental study was conducted on inactive male students of Ahar Azad University with an age range of 23-23 years. Totally, 26 people were selected based on research background and randomly divided into three groups of placebo and garlic supplement in two doses of 500 and 1000 Mg distributed on a daily basis. The first and second blood samples were obntained at baseline after strenuous exercise and the third and fourth samples were taken after 8 weeks of supplementation and under the same conditions to measure lipid peroxidation index. For data analysis, repeated measures analysis of variance and one-way Tukey post hoc test were used at the significant level of p <0.05.
Results: The findings showed that a session of helpless exercise increases a significant increase in lipid damage (p <0.05). In addition, long-term supplementation of garlic pills with doses of 500 and 1000 mg per day reduces basal lipid damage after strenuous exercise. Also, taking 1000 mg of garlic tablets has a greater effect compared with the 500-mg dose (p <0.05).
Conclusion: Therefore, it can cautiously be suggested that long-term garlic supplementation, especially the 1000-mg dose, be used to prevent oxidative stress from strenuous exercise.
