Three sentinel parameters of aerobic performance are the maximal oxygen uptake (), critical
power (CP) and speed of the kinetics following exercise onset. Of these, the latter is …

Skeletal muscle continually produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO)
derivatives. Both oxidant cascades have complex effects on muscle contraction, metabolic …

Polyphenols are secondary metabolites involved in a myriad of critical processes in plants.
Over recent decades, special attention has been paid to the anti-oxidative role of fruit …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can be beneficial or harmful in health and disease. While
low levels of ROS serve as signaling molecules to regulate vascular tone and the growth …

Evidence of increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is observed in the
