Exercise-induced oxidative stress in overweight adolescent girls: roles of basal insulin resistance and inflammation and oxygen overconsumption

Basal insulin resistance (IR) and inflammation exacerbate post-exercise oxidative stress (OS) in overweight adolescent girls. Cross-sectional study, effect of incremental ergocycle exercise until exhaustion on OS markers. Normal-weight (control) (n=17, body mass index (BMI): 20–24.2 kg/m2) and overweight adolescent girls (n=29, BMI: 24.1–36.6 kg/m2). Dietary measurement, physical activity assessment (validated questionnaires), fat distribution...
