Antioxidant dietary deficiency induces caspase activation in chick skeletal muscle cells

Antioxidant dietary deficiency induces caspase activation in chick skeletal muscle cells

Apoptosis and necrosis are two distinct forms of cell death that can occur in response to different agents and stress conditions. In order to verify if the oxidative stress induced by dietary selenium and vitamin E deficiencies can lead muscle cells to apoptosis, one-day-old chicks were reared using...
