Antioxidant Supplement Inhibits Skeletal Muscle Constitutive Autophagy rather than Fasting-Induced Autophagy in Mice

Figure 5

Antioxidant capacity was measured in gastrocnemius muscle after short-term fasting. (a) mRNA expression of SOD1 (CuZn-SOD). (b) mRNA expression of SOD2 (MnSOD). (c) MnSOD activity in the isolated mitochondria of gastrocnemius muscle. Values are means ± SE. ^∗𝑃<0.05, ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 significantly different versus Control, ^#𝑃<0.05 significantly different versus NAC.
