Abstract :
Introduction: There are many indications that hepatic enzymes levels in the blood and exercise have some kind of association although it is not well known; therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of an exhaustion session exercise on hepatic enzymes levels in nonathletic males and females. Material & Methods: Sixteen healthy nonathletic males (aged 30±5.4 years, weight 74.8±13 kg; mean ± SD) and females (aged 25.8±2.2 years, weight 57±9 kg; mean ± SD) participated as subjects in this study. Blood samples were collected at before and 2 hours after an exhaustion exercise. Results: The results showed that the baseline level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was higher in males than females (t = 2.1; P = 0.04). On the other hand, the results showed that alkaline phosphatase (ALP) increased (t = 2.4; P = 0.02) in the male group compare to the female group; while for ALT and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels no significant different were observed between groups and no significant changes were observed after the exercise. Conclusion: Although, there was the significant differences in ALT level between males and females, but hepatic enzymes were not affected by an exhaustion session exercise.
