Regulation of homeostasis with products enriched by antioxidants in athletes from low-intensity sports

Aim. The article deals with establishing the effect of food, enriched with antioxidants, on people, practicing low-intensity sports, to forecast changes in homeostasis. Materials and methods. We used the data obtained from participants aged 25-35 (40 persons), practicing low intensity sports on a regular basis twice a week. As antioxidants, we used micronized taxifolin (0.58 % to product mass), chaga extract (5.76 % to product mass), and fucoidan (0.5 % to product mass). To assess the effect of enriched products on homeostasis, we performed the study of hematological and biochemical indicators with the help of non-contact blood analyzer. Results. We performed the analysis of metabolism after adding in a person’s diet the products, enriched with biologically active substances. We also wanted to study the metabolic effect of changing a person’s diet. We established that, in general, the inclusion into a person’s diet of antioxidant enriched products do not result in a decrease of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. However, antioxidant enriched products have a multidirectional influence on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and enzymatic activity. From the prognostic point of view, there is a minimization of the risks of oxidative stress after the inclusion of food products, enriched with micronized taxifolin, into the diet of athletes from low-intensity sports. In comparison with other groups, there are no changes in the concentration of acetylcholinesterase (248.70 ± 2.4 umol/l; reference values 220-278 umol/l) after the decrease of amylase concentration. Conclusion. Homeostatic regulation is provided by the inclusion of specialized foods, which minimize the risks of oxidative stress, into a diet of athletes, involved in low-intensity sports.
