Figure 1

The TBARS concentration in blood plasma (TBARSpl) and erythrocytes (TBARSer) 20 and 40 min after recovery at room temperature (RT, 20°C) or in ice-cold water (ICW, 3°C) preceded by a 30 min aerobic exercise bout in healthy men. Statistically significant differences: versus baseline (, ) and versus 40 min after the recovery at RT (). All data are shown as mean ± SD. TBARS, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances; MDA, malondialdehyde.
