Precompetitional Weight Reduction Modifies Prooxidative-Antioxidative Status in Judokas

Table 2

Antioxidative status parameters in judokas.

	Study stage			ANOVA
	I	II	III
	SOD (NU/ml)					6.46(0.19)
Mn-SOD (NU/ml)				15.29(0.35)
Cu,Zn-SOD (NU/ml)				ns
CER (mg/dl)				4.17(0.13)
CAT (kIU/g Hb)				ns
GPx (IU/g Hb)				ns
GR (IU/g Hb)				ns
GST (IU/g Hb)				ns
-PSH (μmol/l)				ns
TAC (mmol/l)				ns

Statistical significance: ; ; ; ns—nonsignificant results. I—2 weeks before the competition; II—1 day before the competition; III—7 days after the competition. Mn-SOD—manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase; Cu,Zn-SOD—copper- and zinc-dependent superoxide dismutase; CER—ceruloplasmin; CAT—catalase; GPx—glutathione peroxidase; GR—glutathione reductase; GST—glutathione S-transferase; PSH—protein sulfhydryl. Statistical significance levels: SOD: ; Mn-SOD: ; CER: .
