Differences effect of tempeh milk and tempeh yogurt on oxidative stress in maximal exercise

Abstract

Maximum exercise can cause oxidative stress which is characterized by high levels of MDA and decreased SOD enzyme activity. Tempeh milk and tempeh yogurt are natural sources of antioxidants that can prevent damage by free radicals and excess ROS formation. This study aimed to analyze the effect of tempeh milk and tempeh yogurt on oxidative stress in rats with maximum exercise. This study is a true experimental with a pre-test post-test control group design on 28 rats given maximal physical activity and treatment for 10 days which were divided into four groups, the control group without maximal physical activity treatment, the control group with maximal activity treatment, the tempeh milk intervention group and the tempeh yogurt intervention group. The statistical analysis used was paired t-test and one-way ANOVA test. The intervention of tempeh milk (4.2 ml/weight of rats) and tempeh yogurt (4.4 ml/weight of rats) had a significant effect (p<0.05) on decreasing MDA levels, and also had a significant effect (p<0.05) on increasing SOD enzyme activity in rats with oxidative stress. In conclusion, tempeh milk and tempeh yoghurt can reduce MDA levels and increase SOD enzyme activity Keyword: tempeh milk tempeh yoghurt oxidative stress This open access article is under the CC-BY-SA license.
