Effect of Aerobic Training on Oxidative Stress Markers in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

August 22, 2022 updated by: Fatih Söke, Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi

The Effect of Aerobic Training on Total Antioxidant Status, Total Oxidant Status, Glutathione, Oxidative Glutathione and Zonulin Levels in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's disease is a chronic, neurodegenerative disorder characterized with the loss of dopamine-producing neurons. This loss is likely to be related with several environmental and genetic factors. One of the most important factor that is responsible for the initation and progression of the disease is oxidative stress. Exercise training, especially aerobic training, can change the levels of oxidative markers because exercise can lead to decrease oxidative stress in patients with Parkinson's disease. Therefore, this study aims to investigate (1) the effect of aerobic training on total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, glutathione, oxidative glutathione, and zonulin levels, (2) the relationship between the change of motor symptoms and disease severity and the change of total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, glutathione, oxidative glutathione, and zonulin levels.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Total antioxidant status
Time Frame: 10 minutes
Total antioxidant status is an important marker of total antioxidant capacity and it indicates an overall measure for the cumulative action of all antioxidants.
10 minutes
Total oxidant status
Time Frame: 10 minutes
Total oxidant status is an significant marker of total oxidant capacity and it indicates an overall measure for the cumulative action of all oxidants.
10 minutes
Glutathione
Time Frame: 10 minutes
Glutathione is an important intracellular antioxidant that protects against a variety of different antioxidant species.
10 minutes
Oxidative glutathione
Time Frame: 10 minutes
Oxidative glutathione generated by glutathione reductase should be provided as decreased glutathione to the site.
10 minutes
Zonulin
Time Frame: 10 minutes
The levels of zonulin can reflect systemic inflammation and oxidative stress.
10 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Movement Disorders Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale
Time Frame: 15 minutes
The Movement Disorders Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale is the most commonly used scale to assess disease severity in Parkinson's Disease. It consists of four parts: (1) non-motor experiences of daily living, (2) motor experiences of daily living, (3) motor examination, and (4) motor complications.
