Protective Effect of Sesamin Administration on Exercise-Induced Lipid Peroxidation

Abstract

To investigate the mechanism of antioxidative effects of sesamin in vivo, 32 male ddY mice were administered with 10 mg/kg or 100 mg/kg of sesamin (S10, S100), 100 mg/kg of vitamin E (VE100) or control sample (C). They were subjected to 30 min of swimming exercise 2 h after the sample administration by using a new forced-swimming apparatus, i. e. an adjustable-current swimming pool. Exercise resulted in a significant increase in plasma lipid peroxides (LPO) in C and VE100 (p < 0.01), but not in S10 and S100. S100 showed significantly higher total glutathione peroxidase activity and glutathione S-transferase activity in liver compared to C (p < 0.05). In conclusion, sesamin may enhance LPO degradation in the liver resulting in the strong protective effects against exercise-induced plasma lipid peroxidation.
