The present study aimed to determine the protective effect of endurance training and cinnamon bark extract (CBE) supplementation on oxidative responses induced by an exhaustive exercise schedule in rats. The rats were randomly divided into the following five groups of 6; control sedentary (Con/Sed), control exercised (Con/Ex), trained exercised (Tr/Ex), supplemented exercised (Sup/Ex), and trained, supplemented and exercised (Tr/Sup/Ex). Animals in exercise groups ran on a rodent treadmill for an 8-week endurance training program. At the end of the experiment, blood samples were collected and (MDA) and total thiol (TT) levels were measured in plasma. Glutathione peroxidase (GPX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) activities were determined in soleus muscles. Results showed significant increases in SOD activity and malondealdehyde (MDA) levels in the soleus muscles and serum of exercised rats fed with the normal diet. The exhaustive exercise also induced a decrease in serum total thiol level and GPX activity. Elevated levels of total thiol and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and reduced serum MDA levels were found in the Sup/Ex and Tr/Sup/Ex groups. CAT and GPX activities increased by CBE treatment in trained rats. Regular training increased CAT and GPX activities in the Tr/Sup/Ex group. CAT, GPX and SOD activities were not affected by the CBE treatment in untrained rats. Results suggest that additional use of regular training and CBE supplementation increase TAC and protect healthy male rats against oxidative damage induced by exhaustive exercise.  UR - https://mbrc.shirazu.ac.ir/article_2723.html L1 - https://mbrc.shirazu.ac.ir/article_2723_9bbcc8a46719a1989542faaecdeb4d1f.pdf ER -
