Skeletal muscle consumes significant amounts of oxygen, and its
oxygen flux increases significantly under conditions of exercise
and muscle contraction. This makes the muscle vulnerable to
oxidative stress since concomitantly with the increase of oxygen
flow there is an increase of free oxygen radicals which are a
byproduct of muscle respiration. A number of studies in the last
decade have documented the involvement of free oxygen radicals in
exercising muscles. The consequences of muscle oxidative stress
have resulted mainly in increased muscle protein oxidation,
elevation of lipid peroxidation, and depletion of muscle
antioxidants. The mechanisms of this oxidative stress are under
extensive investigation in laboratories around the world and are
topics of the chapters in this volume. This book is intended for
professionals who are interested in muscle function, physiology,
pathophysiology and well-being, such as therapists, trainers and
medical professionals as well as for researchers in the field of
muscle physiology.
