Influence of N-Acetylcysteine on Oxidative Stress in Slow-Twitch Soleus Muscle of Heart Failure Rats

Influence of N-Acetylcysteine on Oxidative Stress in Slow-Twitch Soleus Muscle of Heart Failure Rats

Background: Chronic heart failure is characterized by decreased exercise capacity with early exacerbation of fatigue and dyspnea. Intrinsic skeletal muscle abnormalities can play a role in exercise intolerance. Causal or contributing factors responsible for muscle alterations have not been completel...
