Summary
This narrative review examines the mechanisms by which exercise and diet interventions mitigate oxidative stress and improve metabolic syndrome outcomes. The authors synthesise evidence supporting integrated lifestyle approaches that target multiple pathways of metabolic dysfunction simultaneously, with particular emphasis on the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of physical activity and dietary composition. The review contributes to understanding how non-pharmacological strategies can address the multifactorial pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome.
UK applicability
Findings are generalisable to UK clinical and public health settings given the universal metabolic pathways involved, though UK-specific implementation would require consideration of local dietary availability, physical activity infrastructure, and healthcare system capacity for lifestyle intervention delivery.
Key measures
Oxidative stress biomarkers (reactive oxygen species, antioxidant enzyme activity, lipid peroxidation), metabolic syndrome components (blood glucose, lipid profile, blood pressure, waist circumference), inflammatory markers
Outcomes reported
The study synthesised evidence on how exercise and dietary modifications reduce oxidative stress markers and improve metabolic syndrome outcomes. It examined the integrated effects of lifestyle interventions on biomarkers of metabolic dysfunction.
