This study evaluated the effects of resistance training (RT) combined with creatine hydrochloride (CrHCL) and creatine monohydrate (CrM) supplementation on oxidative stress-antioxidant markers in trained women. In this study, 48 young trained women were selected and randomly assigned to four groups via a double-blind method: Group 1: RT + Creatine hydrochloride (Cr-HCL) supplementation (n = 12), Group 2: RT + Creatine monohydrate-loading phase (CrM-LP) supplementation (n = 12), Group 3: RT + CrM-without loading phase (CrM-WLP) supplementation (n = 12), and Group 4: RT + Placebo (PL) supplementation (n = 12). The RT program was performed for eight weeks with three sessions per week. Blood samples were obtained before and after training to evaluate serum levels of 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and catalase (CAT) activity. Statistical analyses were performed using the Mixed ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc tests at a significance level of 0.05. Following the intervention, the RT + Cr-HCL, RT + CrM-LP, and RT + CrM-WLP supplementation groups indicated significant decreases and increases in the blood levels of MDA and SOD, respectively, compared to the RT + PL supplementation group (
The study was conducted based on the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the ethics committee of the Sport Sciences Research Institute (IR.SSRC.REC.1399.138).
