Abstract :The aim of this study was to investigate how resveratrol administration affects element metabolism in some tissues in rats undergoing acute swimming exercise. In the study, 28 adult male Wistar rats were used and the animals were divided into 4 groups in equal numbers. Group 1, Control; Group 2, Swimming: The group fed a standard diet and had 30 minutes of acute swimming exercise. Group 3, Resveratrol: The group receiving 10 mg/kg resveratrol supplement for four weeks. Group 4, Resveratrol + Swimming: The group that received 10 mg/kg resveratrol supplement for four weeks and also had 30 minutes of acute swimming exercise. At the end of the four-weeks diet, group 2 and group 4 animals were given 30 minutes of acute swimming exercise. Animals were sacrificed immediately after swimming practices, and testis, kidney, heart and liver tissue samples were taken. Elemental analyzes in tissue samples were determined by atomic emission method. Elements measured in testicular tissue were not affected by exercise and resveratrol applications. Both resveratrol administration and acute swimming exercise resulted in changes in zinc, iron, magnesium, selenium, molybdenum levels in kidney tissue, iron and calcium levels in heart tissue, and zinc, iron and molybdenum levels in liver tissue (p<0.05). The results of study, which revealed that resveratrol administration caused changes in element metabolism in some tissues of rats both during and independently of exercise, can be presented as the first and original finding based on med-line scans.
