Effect of six weeks 1000 mg/day vitamin C supplementation and healthy training in elderly women on genes expression associated with the immune response - a randomized controlled trial

Figures & data

Table 1 Anthropometric characteristics of participants before and after 6 weeks of training supported (SUP group) or not supported (CON) Vitamin C supplementation

Fig. 1 Changes in Vitamin C concentration (a), prooxidative status (b), antioxidative status (c) and pro/antioxidative ratio (d) before (dark bars) and after (gray bars) 6 weeks of training. SUP - participants trained and supplemented 1000 mg of Vitamin C. CON- participant only trained. *significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) between I and II within the groups; #significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) between groups

Fig. 2 Changes in relative expression (2ˆ) of CCL2 (a), CRP (b), IL1 (c), IL6 (d) and IL10 (e), before (darky bars) and after 6 weeks (gray bars) training. All mRNA expressed as 2ˆ relative expression/TUBB. # significant differences between the group
