Altered oxidative stress and antioxidant defence in skeletal muscle during the first year following spinal cord injury

Abstract Oxidative stress promotes protein degradation and apoptosis in skeletal muscle undergoing atrophy. We aimed to determine whether spinal cord injury leads to changes in oxidative stress, antioxidant capacity, and apoptotic signaling in human skeletal muscle during the first year after spinal...
