Effects of Exercise-Induced ROS on the Pathophysiological Functions of Skeletal Muscle

Figure 1

Effects of exercise-induced ROS on the balance of oxidative stress in the skeletal muscle. Exercise-induced oxidative stress occurs as the production of ROS generated in the body, which is excessive to the defense ability of antioxidant system during physical exercise. ROS includes O₂^-, OH^-, and H₂O₂, which affect the adaption, damage, and fatigue in the skeletal muscle.
