Remarkable Protective Effects of Nrf2-Mediated Antioxidant Enzymes and Tissue Specificity in Different Skeletal Muscles of Daurian Ground Squirrels Over the Torpor-Arousal Cycle
Hibernating mammals experience conditions of extreme oxidative stress, such as fasting, muscle disuse, and repeated hypoxic ischemia-reperfusion, during the torpor-arousal cycle.Despite this, they experience little oxidative injury and are thus an interesting model of anti-oxidative damage.Thus, in the current study, we explored the levels and unde
