Reactive Oxygen Species in Skeletal Muscles From Heart Failure – (07-12-01)



Reactive Oxygen Species in Skeletal Muscles From Heart Failure

This article looks at the dysfunction in skeletal muscle following a heart attack in mice. This dysfunction is believed to come from free radical damage. This leads to a very wide variety of new approaches to heart attacks. Research already shows strong benefits to magnesium application to reduce infarct size; now it may be possible to prevent damage to skeletal muscle with an antioxidant cocktail–possibly Vit C, Vit E and CoQ10 just to name a few. Although prevention is always the best approach, this is evidence piling up on how to potentially reduce the damage to the heart and the rest of the body during a heart attack.
