Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of vitamin C supplementation and yoga practice on total antioxidant status (TEAC), lipid peroxidation, and blood lipid profiles of middle-aged women. Thirty two women ($53.34{\pm}5.08$ years old) in B city volunteered and the signed consents were received before the study. Experimental groups were normal (n=8), vitamin C intake group (n=8), yoga group (n=8), and vitamin C intake with yoga group (n=8). Total experimental period was 12 weeks. Yoga group practiced yoga 3 times a week for 12 weeks with intensity of RPE $13{\sim}15$. Each practice was 60 minutes. Vt. C group was instructed to take 1 g of Vt. C every day after dinner meal. Changes in TEAC after 12 weeks were 28.23% for the normal group, 30% for Vt. C group, 26.58% for yoga group, and 43.66% for Vt. C with yoga group; the increases in TEAC among groups were not significantly different. Serum malondialehyde (MDA) concentration of the normal group increased by 10% during 12 weeks of experiment while that for the Vt. C, yoga, and Vt. C with yoga group were significantly decreased by 25%, 32.14%, and 33.87%, respectively (p<0.05) compared with the normal group. Neither yoga, Vt. C supplementation nor combined program for 12 weeks were effective enough to change the serum lipid profiles compared with the normal group. In conclusion, Vitamin C supplementation or regular yoga practice seems to have health promoting effects of retarding the oxidative stress by decreasing lipid peroxidation in middle-aged woman.

비타민 C 섭취 및 요가가 중년 여성의 총항산화능, 지질과 산화 및 혈중지질에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 B광역시 H구에 거주하는 중년여성을 대상으로 12주간 실험을 실시하였다. 요가 프로그램은 주 3회, 1일 60분, 운동 강도 RPE $13{\sim}15$로 실시하였다. 비타민 C는 1일 1 g을 섭취시켰다. 12주 후 총항산화능의 변화는 정상군 28.23%, 비타민 C군 30%, 요가군 26.58%, 비타민 C 섭취와 요가군은 43.66%가 증가하였으나 군간 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 지질과산화물가의 변화는 정상군 10%, 비타민 C군 -25%, 요가군은 -32.14%, 비타민 C 섭취와 요가군은 -33.87%로 정상군에 비해 프로그램군이 유의적으로 감소하였으나 프로그램군간의 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 혈중지질농도 변화는 모든군에서 유의적인 차이가 없어 요가 또는 비타민 C 섭취에 따른 지질개선효과를 관찰할 수 없었다. 이상의 결과를 통해 중년여성에게 비타민 C 섭취나 규칙적인 요가 프로그램은 지질과산화물가를 낮춤으로써 체내 산화적 스트레스를 개선하는 효과가 있는 것으로 생각된다.
