The Effects Of Selenium And Tocotrienol Supplementation On The Muscle Contractile Properties, Fatigue, Emg And Antioxidant Status Of Gastrocnemius Muscle Of Trained And Untrained Rats

Exercise induces radical-mediated oxidative damage of skeletal muscle membranes which has been implicated in the fatigue process. Selenium (S) is an important component of cellular selenocompounds and is an integral component of glutathione Peroxidase (GPx), which catalyze the reduction of har...
