Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the oxidation of human serum albumin (HSA) caused by oxidative stress following exhaustive and demanding exercise, such as an ultra-marathon race. For this purpose, blood samples from 12 adult runners who underwent a 103 km mountain ultra‑marathon race were collected before the race, and also at 24, 48 and 72 h post-race. HSA was partially purified using affinity chromatography and consequently subjected to western blot analysis in order to determine the levels of disulfide dimers indicating oxidation. For reasons of comparison, the results were correlated with those from a previous study, in which the same samples were analyzed using different oxidative stress markers. The results revealed a good correlation between albumin dimers and protein carbonyls at all time points, while there was also a significant correlation with static oxidation reduction potential at 24 h, and a negative correlation with capacity oxidation reduction potential at 24 and 48 h. In addition, an individual analysis of albumin dimers exhibited great inter-individual differences, indicating the variation of HSA oxidation between different athletes. Namely, in some athletes, HSA seemed to be the main oxidation target of serum proteins, while in other athletes, there was even a reduction of HSA. This inter‑individual variability in the oxidation of HSA may suggest that different interventions (e.g., through diet) may be required in order to confront the effects on athletes following strenuous exercise. On the whole, this study suggests the importance of the assessment of albumin dimers as a predictive marker for exercise‑induced oxidative stress.
