| Abstract |
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Tetraselmis chuii (TC) microalgae supplementation for sixty days on hematological, anthropometric and hormonal parameters in healthy young men. Forty-six men divided into a placebo group (PG; n = 16; 20.77 +/- 2.7 years; 72.14 +/- 7.18 kg; 1.76 +/- 0.07 m), a group supplemented with 25 mg/day of TC (SG 25; n = 15; 20.40 +/- 1.40 years; 71.28 +/- 8.26 kg; 1.76 +/- 0.05 m) and another group supplemented with 200 mg/day of TC (SG 200; n = 15; 20.83 +/- 2.45 years; 72.30 +/- 11.13 kg; 1.77 +/- 0.08 m) participated in this double-blind study. PG ingested 200 mg/day of lactose powder. Participants underwent 4 assessments (baseline, month 1, month 2 and desadaptation) separated in time by an interval of thirty days. At SG 25 and SG 200, significant increases in percent muscle mass, erythropoietin, insulin-like growth factor 1, free testosterone, leukocytes, neutrophils and lymphocytes were observed (p < 0.05). Decreases in the levels of percent fat mass, platelets, hematocrit and mean corpuscular hemoglobin also occurred in these groups (p < 0.05). TC supplementation induced favorable changes on anthropometric, hematological and hormonal levels. In view of the data, it seems that the most effective dose was 25 mg/day of TC. |
