Oxidative stress and muscle dysfunction following anterior cruciate ligament surgery

Creator:

Barker, Tyler

Abstract:

Despite the advances in surgery, physical therapy, and pharmaceutical agents, muscle dysfunction (i.e., atrophy and weakness) continues to impair recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and surgery. Ischemia-reperfusion injury during surgery and the subsequent limb disuse are two events experienced by patients having ACL surgery. Oxidative stress and...

Studies on effect of stabilizers, chelators and inherent periodicity on nanoparticle antioxidant activity

Creator:

Zhou, Zheng

Abstract:

The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is tightly regulated in biological systems as overproduction can lead to oxidative stress and result in a number of diseases. Due to its negative effects, antioxidants are studied and used against ROS in medicine, pharmaceuticals and therapeutics. Because of issues with the uptake...
