Oxidative Stress in Humans Training in a Cold, Moderate Altitude Environment and Their Response to a Phytochemical Antioxidant Supplement

Abstract

An increased level of oxidative stress was associated with high levels of physical exertion of training in a cold environment at moderate altitude. The antioxidant mixture tested did not attenuate the mean oxidative stress levels in the entire group of test subjects, but it may have reduced the oxidative stress of some individuals with low initial antioxidant status.
