Abstract

To investigate the effects of Jatobá sap for eight weeks as an immunometabolic modulator in male soccer athletes. Phase 1: Phytochemical characterization (HPLC); Phase 2: (Jatobá) x (placebo). C-reactive protein (CRP), creatine phosphokinase (CPK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), urea, creatinine, cortisol, and testosterone were evaluated. The present study identified propelargonidin dimer and the flavonoids proanthocyanidin dimer, proanthocyanidin trimer, catechin, taxifolin, and caffeoylquinic acid glycoside. The placebo group showed a significant decrease in testosterone levels after the game about the pre-game time, a fact that did not occur in the supplemented group. Also, the supplemented group showed a significant increase in the levels of this variable in the 24-hour time about the post-game time, which was not observed in the placebo group. Regarding cortisol, both groups showed an increase in the post-game time with a return to basal levels in 24 hours. However, the stress of the match caused the placebo group to increase blood concentrations of this hormone by 150.5%, while the supplemented group increased blood concentrations by 59.3%. Supplementation modulated the testosterone/cortisol hormonal balance, with significant anabolic control between the groups after the match, and increase testosterone, reduced cortisol levels, and positively modulated the testosterone/cortisol ratio.
