The effects of a special training program on cytochrome p450 gene expression and reactive oxygen species levels in patients with coronary artery bypass surgery

Background: Significant economic consequences can lead to various problems and complications, including medical complications.Coronary artery disease (CAD), a serious health threat with increasing prevalence, is a major cause of death and mortality worldwide.This study aimed to investigate the effects of a special training program on cytochrome P450 (CYP) gene expression and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in patients with coronary artery bypass surgery.Methods: This semi-experimental study was conducted on 16 patients who underwent coronary artery surgery in Babol City, Iran.The patients were selected using a random sampling method and divided into 2 groups: experimental and control groups.The experimental group engaged in an exercise program consisting of 3 sessions per week for a duration of 8 weeks.The expression levels of CYP and ROS genes were measured by the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method.The analysis was performed by comparing covariances and means.Results: ROS gene expression levels significantly decreased in the experimental group than in the control group (P=0.003).However, there was no significant difference in P450 levels between the experimental and control groups (P=0.99).Conclusion: Special exercises reduced ROS expression and increased P450 expression in patients who had coronary bypass surgery.There is a probability that special exercises, can effectively prevent heart damage by increasing antioxidant capacity and reducing ROS.
