EFFECT OF A WHEY-BASED BIOPRODUCT ON METABOLIC PROCESSES IN THE MICROCIRCULATION

Abstract

Aim. The article deals with the effect of a whey-based product on the metabolic processes, character, and local mechanisms of the microcirculation in athletes involved in track-and-field athletics. Materials and methods. 32 male athletes participated in the study. The microcirculation was studied with the help of the LAKK-M laser analyzer. The calculations were conducted by using a special software package (version 2.0.0.423, LAZMA, Russia). Results. It is established that a course of the MDX Multicomplex bioproduct increases blood perfusion in the microcirculatory bloodstream by 34% and erythrocyte fluctuation by 66%, which improve the efficiency of metabolic processes.  Bloodstream modulation is provided by the enhanced performance of the local active regulatory mechanisms. A statistically significant increase of 42% is registered in the endothelium-dependent mechanism, the increase of 32% and 23% is found in the myogenic and neurogenic mechanisms respectively. The contribution of the passive regulatory mechanisms reduces as a result of chest and heart muscle performance.  The physiologically active substances of the bioproduct are involved in the vasodilation of microvessels and redox reactions at the cellular level.  A 22% increase in NADH reduced coenzyme and a 9% decrease in FAD oxidized coenzyme indicate a decrease in mitochondrial activity in the absence of physical exertion and, indirectly, confirm the complete restoration of the energy reserves. Conclusion. The data obtained proves the optimization of metabolic processes in the microcirculation as an effect of the MDX Multicomplex bioproduct.
