Oxidative stress markers in diaphragm and limb muscle after IH.

<p>Western blot quantification of carbonylated proteins in: (A) diaphragm and (B) limb muscle, of Ctl and IH mice. Real-time PCR quantification of anti-oxidant gene expression in: (C) diaphragm and (D) limb muscle. Data are expressed as means (± SE) of 4–5 mice per group. * p<0.01 compared to Ctl by t-test. Abbreviations used: MnSOD = Manganese superoxide dismutase; Gpx = Glutathione peroxidase; Prx = Peroxiredoxin.
