Abstract

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a natural byproduct of aerobic cellular metabolism. They are highly reactive molecules which cause oxidative damage, such as carbonylation, to proteins, lipids and DNA. Because of the high metabolism and energy demand of skeletal muscle, it is especially susceptible to the carbonylation. Thus, the level of carbonylation can be used as a quantitative estimate of the amount of oxidative damage to the tissue.
