- Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare several biomarkers after two different time periods of pequi oil supplementation. Twenty men (age, 21.70 ± 3.18 yrs) were allocated to 2 groups: (a) Group 14 (G14) was supplemented with pequi oil at 400 mg·d-1 for 14 days; and (b) Group 30 (G30) was supplemented with pequi oil at 400 mg·d-1 for 30 days. Before and after supplementation, 1RM strength, hemodynamic and metabolic biomarkers were analyzed. Also, they performed a strength session with hemodynamic evaluation for 30 min after the session. Mixed ANOVA was used to analyze the data. After supplementation, no differences between the groups were observed in systolic blood pressure, heart rate, double product, 1RM, and total cholesterol. Compared to G30, G14 presented reduced diastolic blood pressure at 30 min after the exercise session (Δ= -6.9 mmHg, P=.006). G14 presented greater blood triglyceride compared to baseline value (Δ= +34.2 mg·d-1, P=.03). Perceived exertion was higher (P<.05) in G14 compared to G30 (8.3 ± 0.8 vs. 6.4 ± 0.6 AU). Pequi oil does not increase strength, nor reduce resting metabolic and hemodynamic biomarkers after 14 and 30 days of supplementation.
