Effect of an aerobic training on magnesium, trace elements and antioxidant systems in a Down syndrome population.

Abstract：

:The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of an aerobic training on plasma and red blood cells' levels of magnesium, copper, selenium and zinc and on some oxidative stress parameters in a Down syndrome (DS) sample population. Sixteen young male adults with DS participated in the protocol. Among them, eight were randomly assigned to the control group and the remaining eight participated in a 16 week training programme consisting of 10 min warm-up followed by an aerobic session at a work intensity of 60 to 75 per cent of VO2 peak lasting from 15 to 25 min, increasing 5 min every 5 weeks and by a 5 min cool-down period, 3 days/week. Blood was withdrawn by butterfly from antecubital vein of each subject at fast, 2 days before the beginning of the programme and 2 days after its ending. Before the training period, when comparing the two groups, no significant differences were observed in the evaluated parameters. However, when comparing with a healthy population, red blood cells magnesium and plasma and red blood cells selenium mean values were low in both groups and mean SOD activity was 1.4 times higher. After the protocol the mean values of the minerals studied did not show significant differences between groups except for plasma zinc that was lower (p = 0.029) in the trained group. Plasma TBARS increase was significant in the trained group (p = 0.034) but not in the control group and plasma GSH of the trained group had a significantly higher increase than the control group (p = 0.003). The levels of plasma TBARS after the training programme that were inversely correlated with red blood cells GSSG levels (p = 0.023) and the higher increase of plasma GSH mean values observed, may be explained by the effect of the exercise period on the peroxidation and reduction of glutathione and also on the synthesis and efflux of GSH. Red blood cells magnesium levels remained low after the training programme which is in accordance with other studies. Plasma zinc decreased during the programme could be related to the activated expression of antioxidant mechanisms after the training.
