摘要：The health-promoting effects of exercise are explained by the biological adaptation to oxidative stress via maintenance of mitochondrial function especially in muscles. Although the induction of antioxidant enzymes in muscle is a useful indicator of exercise, it is not widely used due to the invasiveness of muscle biopsies. To explore more suitable biomarkers for exercise, we examined mRNA levels of antioxidant enzymes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 14 volunteers in an exercise intervention study. These results were validated in a cross-sectional study of 392 healthy individuals, and we investigated the association between exercise habits, smoking, alcohol consumption, mitochondrial DNA, malondialdehyde, and various clinical features. The 2-week exercise increased superoxide dismutase 1 at the end of exercise and superoxide dismutase 2 from week 4 onwards. In the cross-sectional study, superoxide dismutase 2 correlated positively with exercise habits and number of mitochondrial DNA, and negatively with malondialdehyde levels. Multivariate binominal regression analysis showed that superoxide dismutase 2 was positively associated with exercise habits in nonsmoking individuals. These results suggest that mRNA levels of superoxide dismutase 2 in blood might be a potentially useful biomarker for exercise in healthy individuals. This study was registered with University Hospital Medical Information Network (No: 000038034).
