The Effects of Two Different Types of Resistance Training Exercise Plus Omega-3-6-9 Supplement on E-selectin and ICAM-1 Adhesion Molecules in Young Overweight Men

Background: performing regular exercise training and taking inflammation-reducing supplements can be efficient in lowering atherosclerosis risk. the aim of this research was to assess the impact of resistance training (rt) conducted with or without omega3-6-9 (omega 3) supplementation in ascending pyramid (ap) or circuit (cr) on plasma levels of e-selectin and icam-1 adhesive molecules in young overweight males. methods: sixty healthy overweight men (18-26 years of age) were recruited and randomly allocated to either receive omega 3 supplement (su, 2.4 g/d) or placebo (pl, 2% dextrose) for 12 weeks. topics of su and pl divided into groups of ap, cr, rt, and control (c). levels of plasma e-selectin and icam-1 were evaluated and compared before and after the practice training period.icam-1 levels did not change significantly after exercise in any of the groups. results: e-selectin levels decreased significantly in cr plus su (p=0.014) and ap plus su (p=0.012). icam-1 did not change significantly in any of the groups. conclusion: based on the results of this research, re plus omega3-6-9 supplement is efficient in decreasing the amount of e-selectin, but not icam-1, regardless of the type of exercise.
