EIMD and Microgreens
Sponsor: Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University
Summary
This study investigated whether a mixed microgreens intervention could modulate biochemical responses to strenuous eccentric exercise. The findings suggest that microgreens consumption was associated with lower post-exercise levels of several muscle damage and inflammatory biomarkers, particularly CK, LDH, AST, TNF-α, and CRP, while effects on myoglobin and IL-6 were limited. Further controlled studies are needed to confirm these findings and clarify their biological significance.

Interventions
Mixed Microgreens and Wheatgrass Juice
Participants received a mixed preparation of black radish, red radish, broccoli, and kale microgreens at a total daily dose of 60 g, divided into three 20-g administrations consumed in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. Participants also consumed 30 mL of wheatgrass juice each morning during the intervention period. The intervention was administered over four cycles, with each cycle consisting of 5 consecutive days followed by a 2-day interval. The final intervention cycle coincided with the exercise period.
Lettuce
Participants assigned to the control group received lettuce as the control green food according to the study protocol and underwent the same exercise and assessment procedures as the intervention group.
