Reactive oxygen species (ROS) participate in tissue injury after ischemia-reperfusion. Their
implication in leukocyte adherence and increase in permeability at the venular side of the …

The objective of this review was to evaluate the association between hypoxia and oxidative
damage to DNA and lipids. Evaluation criteria encompassed specificity and validation status …

Mechanisms for the loss of muscle contractile function in hyperthermia are poorly
understood. This study identified the critical temperature, resulting in a loss of contractile …

BACKGROUND: Weaning difficulties from mechanical ventilation are associated with
diaphragm fatigue and reduced respiratory muscle endurance capacity. Often the work of …

The oxidative stress due to free radicals is implicated in the pathogenesis of tissue damage
in diseases such as muscular dystrophy, Alzheimer dementia, diabetes mellitus, and …

Objective: To evaluate the effect of pulmonary fibrosis on the energy metabolism and lipid
peroxidation of respiratory muscles, and on the biochemical parameters. Methods: Male rats …

After putting forward some evidence of hypobaric hypoxia as a particular stimulus causing
systemic, tissue and cellular challenging strains, the present short review is focused on the …

Cells are equipped with an array of adaptive mechanisms to contest the undesirable effects
of ischemia and the associated hypoxia. Indeed, many studies have suggested that there is …
