Oxidative Stress Clinical Trial
Official title:
Investigating the Impact of a Natural Antioxidant Food Product on Exerciseinduced Oxidative Stress in Recreationally Active Participants
The aim of this study is to investigate the short term use of olive extract polyphenols on markers of oxidative stress in response to acute endurance exercise in recreationally active, healthy volunteers.The study will be conducted under laboratory conditions following a 16 day supplemental period. Participants will be required to attend the laboratory for a pre-screening/familiarisation trial followed by assessments PRE (baseline, days 1,2) and POST intervention (days 18,19). Across the intervention, participants will maintain habitual dietary intake/ exercise training. Additionally participants will be randomised in a double-blinded manner to either a placebo or antioxidant-rich supplementation (olive extract water). It is hypothesised that the polyphenols (antioxidants) found within olive extract drink will enhance markers of recovery to an endurance exercise bout compared with the placebo drink.
There is current scientific interest in the use of fruit and plant-based polyphenol supplementation for exercise recovery. Current inference highlights that acute supplementation (~3d) with >1000mg polyphenols per day may enhance recovery from intensive exercise, with most focus on pomegranate, cocoa, green tea extracts, Montmorency cherry concentrate and blackcurrant food products. However, further research is needed to access impact of natural polyphenols at lower or similar doses for longer time periods (>7d) on endurance based activities and subsequent recovery. There has also been significant clinical research interest in the properties of waste water produced when cold pressing olives, which has been shown to contain high concentrations of natural polyphenols. Fattoria La Vialla is an Italian-based organic farm producing various products including cold-pressed olive oil. In doing so, they also produce olive extract which is commercially available as 'Oliphenolia'. Whilst several clinical studies have been undertaken using this product, to date there have been no studies investigating the polyphenol potential of olive extract on exercise recovery and subsequent performance. As such, this study proposes to investigate the short term use of olive extract polyphenols on markers of oxidative stress in response to acute endurance exercise in recreationally active, healthy volunteers. Following a study briefing and provision of written, informed consent, participants will be required to attend the Human Physiology Laboratory at Anglia Ruskin University on 5 occasions as follows: Session 1 - assessment of metabolic responses to incremental exercise intensity and individual maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) using a standardised treadmill-based ramp protocol. Measurement of VO2max will be required for assessment of exercise intensity for sessions 2 and 4 (see below). The treadmill protocol to be used is similar to that previously published, involving two graded exercise tests (GXT1 and GXT2). Following a 10min resting period and assessment of baseline measures (e.g. blood pressure, body composition) and a 5min warm up period, GXT1 will involve participants completing ~6 x 4min stages (3mins running, 1 minute passive recovery in which capillary blood sampling for glucose/lactate will be carried out). Starting speeds will be between ~6-10km/h (1 % gradient) with each stage involving speed increments of 1 km/h. Exercise will continue until blood lactate concentration exceeds 4 mMol/L. Following a 10 min rest, GXT 2 will begin at a speed 2 km·h-1 below the previous GXT 1 final speed, with gradient increasing by 1 % each min and continuing until volitional exhaustion. Throughout the test, breath-to-breath analysis (using a Metalyser 3B respiratory analyser) will be undertaken. Session 2 - Having overnight fasted, and following resting measures (blood pressure, body composition via bioelectrical impedance analysis, 3x4ml blood sample), participants will complete an endurance training session (~75% VO2max for 60mins) on a treadmill. Additional wholeblood samples (3x4ml) will be collected immediately and 1hr post exercise. Session 3 - Participants will return the next morning (overnight fasted) for a resting blood sample (3x4ml, 24 hours post exercise) and complete the same GXT1 and GXT2 tests carried out in session 1. This will be used to quantify metabolic and recovery indices. Session 4 and 5 - following a 16 day nutrition product supplementation period, participants will return and complete exercise testing as per sessions 2 and 3. Nutritional supplementation - all products will be supplied/certified independently via Fattoria La Vialla, Italy. Participants will be randomly assigned in a double-blinded manner to either: i) Experimental condition: 2x25ml olive extract drinks (https://www.oliphenolia.it/uk/) per day for 16 days, taken one mid-morning, one mid-afternoon between meals or ii) matched placebo (2x25ml of prune juice water). Blood samples - wholeblood samples will be immediately centrifuged with serum allocated into separate cryovials for the analysis of: i) the main polyphenol compound- hydroxytyrosol; ii) a marker of oxidative stress (malondialdehyde, MDA) and iii) key antioxidant enzymes (catalase, superoxide dismutase) and redox status (reduced glutathione (GSH) to oxidized glutathione (GSSG) ratio). Over the 16 day study period, there will be no dietary restrictions in place (other than following a low polyphenol diet 24 hours prior to each testing session), however participants will need to follow the allocated supplementation and maintain their training program (~3-4 run training sessions per week). ;
