Differential Expression of NADPH Oxidases Depends on Skeletal Muscle Fiber Type in Rats

Figure 3

Basal levels of antioxidant enzymes activities and mRNA levels of rat skeletal muscles. Superoxide dismutase (a), glutathione peroxidase (b), and catalase (c) activities were measured by spectrophotometry. mRNA levels (d) were determined by qPCR and were expressed relative to soleus muscle. Data were obtained with 10 animals from at least two independent experiments and are shown as mean ± SEM. ; .
