Parkinson is a chronic and widespread neurodegenerative disorder. In this study, the effects of swimming exercise and oleuropein supplementation on oxidative stress of brain tissue in experimental model of Parkinson's disease in rat were investigated. In this experimental study, 40 adult male Wistar rats were selected and divided into five groups including: control group, Parkinson's group, swimming exercise, oleuropein consumption, swimming exercise with oleuropein consumption. The groups were forced to swim for 4 weeks (five sessions per week for 30 minutes each session) and groups 4 and 5 received 20 mg of oleuropein daily per kilogram of body weight orally for 4 weeks. Serum levels of the variables were evaluated using the thiobarbituric acid method. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests (p≥0.05). In this study, oleuropein-Parkinson, swimming exercise-Parkinson, and swimming exercise with oleuropein-Parkinson consumption significantly decreased Malondialdehyde levels, significantly increased glutathione peroxidase activity and thiol compared to Parkinson's group (P<0/001). Swimming exercise with oleuropein consumption can improve antioxidant defense and decrease lipid peroxidation. Therefore, this interactive effect may necessitate more therapeutic and preventive treatment to prevent oxidative stress-related diseases.
