Abstract EN

Objective.

The purpose of the study was to assess total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of blood serum in relation with habitual leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and aerobic capacity in a group of 90 men with coronary heart disease (CHD) aged 34.8–77.0 years and in 90 age-matched peers without CHD.

Methods.

Two spectrophotometric methods were applied to assess TAC: Ferric Reducing Ability of Serum (TAC-FRAS) and 2.2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (TAC-DPPH) tests.

Aerobic capacity was expressed as physical working capacity at 85% of the maximal heart rate ( PWC 85 % HRmax ).

Results.

CHD patients had higher values of TACFRAS ( 1.37 ± 0.28 versus 1.27 ± 0.23 mmol FeCl2·L−1; P < 0.05 ) but there were no group differences for TAC-DPPH and for uric acid (UA).

Negative correlation was found between LTPA (also when calculated per kg of body mass) and TAC-DPPH in CHD patients.

In CHD patients, TAC-FRAS and UA were lower in subjects with higher aerobic capacity expressed as PWC 85 % HRmax / kg .

Those associations were not found in healthy men.

Conclusions.

We conclude that TAC of blood serum is moderately adversely related to LTPA and aerobic capacity in patients with CHD.

UA, as the main determinant of serum TAC, may be partially responsible for those associations.
