摘要：Purpose.Royal jelly is an ergogenic aid used for the purpose of preventive medicine by athletes.Its effects on human beings have not been completely known.Investigating the impact of different doses of royal jelly on swimmers’ hematological blood markers was aimed in this study.Methods.40 healthy swimmers at the age of 18-25 years,performing the same training program,participated in the study.The athletes were divided into 4 groups and each group consists of 10 athletes.2 gr/day to the first group,1 gr/day to the second group,500 mg/day to the third group and placebo to the fourth group were given.In a 4-week training period of 2 hours per day and 5 times a week,totally 20 km swimming was performed.Blood samples were taken at rest after 12 hours of starvation and hematological analyses were done before the royal jelly ingestion and 4 weeks later.Results.Significant differences were found in erythrocytary (RBC),leucocyte (WBC) and Platelet (PLT) parameters of the swimmers.While a decrease was found in HCT,CHCM,CH and HDW variables;an increase was found in MCV,MCH and MCHC.While a decrease was found in different groups of WBC,BA%,LY% and BA# variables,there was an increase in EO% of 1 gr royal jelly group.Also,there was a significant increase in PLT,MPV,PCT and PDW variables.Conclusions.It was found that some differences on the hematological variables may be related to the exercise,and 4-week royal jelly supplementation with these quantities and time did not have sufficient effect.It was suggested that it can be effective with higher doses and in a long time.
