Effects of aerobic exercise and weight loss on riboflavin requirements of moderately obese, marginally deficient young women

AZ Belko, E Obarzanek, R Roach, M Rotter, G Urban, S Weinberg and DA Roe

In a previous study, exercise was shown to increase riboflavin requirements of active, normal weight young women. The present study examined the effect of exercise and weight loss on riboflavin status of moderately overweight women. The experiment was designed as a two- period cross-over with an initial base-line period and two 5-wk metabolic periods. The basic diet contained 1200 kcal with a riboflavin concentration of 0.8 mg/1000 kcal. Exercise consisted of a program of dance exercise. Riboflavin depletion, as measured by increased erythrocyte glutathione reductase activity coefficients and decreased urinary excretion of riboflavin, occurred during both nonexercise and exercise periods. Erythrocyte glutathione reductase activity coefficients increased from a base-line mean of 1.28 +/- 0.11 to 1.40 +/- 0.12 during nonexercise and to 1.49 +/- 0.16 during exercise. Urinary excretion of riboflavin fell from 48 +/- 12% of intake during base-line to 30 +/- 13% during nonexercise and to 19 +/- 6% during exercise. Riboflavin depletion was not related to the rate or composition of weight loss or to change in aerobic capacity.
