متن کاملAntioxidant supplementation preserves antioxidant response in physical training and low antioxidant intake.
The present controlled-training double-blind study (supplemented (S) group, n 7; placebo (P) group, n 10) was designed to investigate whether an antioxidant mixture (Se 150 microg, retinyl acetate mg, ascorbic acid 120 mg, alpha-tocopheryl succinate 20 mg) would allow overloaded triathletes to avoid adaptation failure in the antioxidant system [corrected]. Dietary intakes were recorded. The sup...
