Abstract: OBJECTIVE: The present study was aimed to assess the effect of Resveratrol supplementation, endurance exercise and acute exercise training on oxidative stress and tissue damage markers. METHODS: Sixty-four male Wistar rats were categorized into four groups including resveratrol group, exercise group, exercise + resveratrol group (n= 16) and control group (n= 16). RES was orally administered to male rats for 28 day at a dose of 10 mg per kg body during exercise. Following the familiarization sessions, rats were acclimated to a calibrated motor driven rodent treadmill for endurance exercise and acute exercise implementation. Changes in oxidative stress and tissue damage markers including 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OhdG), Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK), protein carbonyl were biochemically measured using commercial ELISA kits based on the manufacturer’s instructions. RESULTS: The endurance and acute exercise training led to an increase in the levels of CPK and LDH, However, following the endurance and acute exercise training, a reduction in the level of carbonyl and 8-OHdG was observed. RES supplementation did not have any effect on the levels of CPK and LDH; nevertheless, reduced significantly carbonyl, and 8-OHdG levels. Based on this evidence, RES may have protective effects against exercise-induced oxidative stress. CONCLUSION: This study provides further evidence of the antioxidant effects of RES after exercise. However, several factors such as type and duration of exercise, the type of model, the amount of RES supplementation and the time-course consideration can affect the quality of the results. For this reason, further studies in this field are required.
