We previously showed oxidative damage and edema within skeletal muscle after contractile claudication. To investigate the sources of this oxidative damage in the gastrocnemius muscle, we administered allopurinol (Allo, to inhibit xanthine oxidase) and cyclophosphamide (Cyclo, to deplete neutrophils) before inducing contractile claudication in male Sprague Dawley rats. Contractile claudication (ligated stimulated, LS) caused a significant increase in xanthine oxidase activity [sham ligated…

Antioxidants attenuate oxidative damage in rat skeletal muscle during mild ischaemia

Findings suggest that, in an animal model of exercise‐induced claudication, neutrophil chemotaxis is caused by oxidizing species and that antioxidant supplementation can prevent oxidative damage, neutophil infiltration and oedema following an acute bout of contractile‐inducedClaudication.

Xanthine oxidase contributes to mechanical ventilation-induced diaphragmatic oxidative stress and contractile dysfunction.

The failure of XO inhibition to completely prevent MV-induced diaphragmatic oxidative damage suggests that other sources of oxidant production are active in the diaphragem during prolonged MV.

Exercise-Induced 4-Hydroxynonenal Alters Myotube Cellular Redox Homeostasis and Mitochondrial Metabolism

The findings signify the importance of skeletal muscle cells hormesis in response to acute stress and also suggest an important role of caffeine and 4-HNE on regulation of myotube’s metabolism and cellular energy production.

L-Arginine attenuates xanthine oxidase and myeloperoxidase activities in hearts of rats during exhaustive exercise

It is suggested that l-Arg supplementation reduces the oxidative damage and inflammatory response on the myocardium caused by exhaustive exercise in rats.

Protein carbonylation in skeletal muscles: impact on function.

The observation that the levels of oxidant-derived posttranslational protein modifications, including protein carbonylation, are elevated inside skeletal muscle fibers when oxidative stress develops suggest that these modifications play important roles in regulating muscle function.

IκBα degradation is necessary for skeletal muscle atrophy associated with contractile claudication.

It is demonstrated that when blood flow to skeletal muscle is restricted, repeated cycles of muscle contraction can cause muscle fiber atrophy that requires NF-κB-IκBα signaling.

Irreversible plasma and muscle protein oxidation and physical exercise

Looking at the role of protein oxidation, and specifically carbonyl formation, for plasma and skeletal muscle proteins, following different types of physical exercise performed at different intensities suggests that regular physical activity promotes a protection againstprotein carbonylation, due to the activation of the antioxidant defence or of the turnover of protein carbonyls.

Xanthine oxidase-derived H2O2 contributes to reperfusion injury of ischemic skeletal muscle.

It was found that after ischemia and then reperfusion, rat gastrocnemius muscles had decreased contractile function following direct stimulation, and xanthine oxidase (XO)-derived hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) contributes to ischemic skeletal muscle injury during reperfusions.

The cytoprotective role of taurine in exercise-induced muscle injury

Taurine supplementation or taurine depletion had measurable cytoprotective actions to attenuate exercise-induced injury and there was a significant loss in body weight in the β-alanine-treated rats 24 hours after exercise.

It was proved that allopurinol was delivered to reperfused skeletal muscle and reduced I-R injury by inhibiting xanthine oxidase.

Allopurinol does not enhance antioxidant properties of extracellular fluid.

The results of this study do not support the contention that the beneficial effects of allopurinol in I/R injury are caused by the scavenging of oxidants produced in ECF by activated granulocytes.

It is suggested that limiting OFR generation by EPC-K1 in the early phase of reoxygenation is more potent than depletion of neutrophils in reducing reperfusion injury.

Vascular injury in lung and limb was proportional to the time of limb reperfusion and was associated with accumulation of myeloperoxidase, as well as evidence of complement consumption, suggesting that toxic oxygen products of neutrophils are related to the development of vascular injury.
