Influence of vitamin E on physical performance.

摘要: There are two properties of vitamin E which leading to its use for better physical performance. On one side it promotes an economical energy metabolism, on the other acts as a stabilizing antioxidant in membranes. One group 6 high altitude mountain climbers was substituted with 2 x 200 mg dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate and second were given placebos during 10 weeks expedition. The influence synthesis lactic acid exhalation pentane investigated. After anaerobic threshold (AT) higher both groups. In course experiment AT treatment increased further whereas control decreased significantly (p less than 0.01). Pentane exhalation, considered be measure lipid peroxidation, showed no significant change after 4 substitution group, but exhaled more 100% higher. difference is significant, too results this study show that has beneficial effect performance cell protection, at least altitude.
