Summary

The purpose of this study was evaluate the comparative effects of FO rich in EPA (FO-EPA) and FO rich in DHA (FO-DHA) on inflammation and neutrophil properties after a prolonged and strenuous exercise. The effect of soybean lecithin on the same parameters and conditions also was evaluated.

Conditions

  • Immune Dysfunction

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

dietary supplementation

The volunteers ingested 3 g daily of Soybean lecithin or fish oil rich in docosa-hexanoic acid (DHA) containing 1.5 g DHA and 0.3 g EPA (DHA:EPA = 5:1) or fish oil rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) containing 1.6 g EPA and 0.3 g DHA (EPA:DHA = 5.4:1) during 60 days.

OTHER

Exercise

All volunteers performed two half-marathons. In the first half-marathon, all participants were not supplemented. In the second half-marathon, all participants were supplemented. Blood samples were collected before and after both half-marathon race.
