Effect of supplementation of tomato juice on the oxidative stress of selected athletes

چکیده
Background Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between production and scavenging of free radicals, thus compromising the cellular function and antioxidant status of the body. Athletes, who train competitively, experience more oxidative stress than other average individuals which not only causes damage to cells and DNA, but may also limit aerobic capacity. The present study was conducted to test the effect of tomato juice (lycopene) on the oxidative stress of athletes.
