From: Muscle dysfunction associated with adjuvant-induced arthritis is prevented by antioxidant treatment
Antioxidant treatment prevents contractile dysfunction in AIA EDL muscles. Representative original records of twitch (a) and 100 Hz tetanic (c) force from a control (CNT, dashed line) and an AIA (full line) EDL muscle. The peak rates of twitch force development (dP/dt) and relaxation (−dP/dt) (b) and specific force-frequency relationship (d) in CNT and AIA EDL muscles. Maximum knee diameter (e) and specific force-frequency relationship (f) in EDL muscles from CNT and AIA rats with or without treatment with EUK-134 (EUK). Data are presented as mean ± SEM for four to seven muscles in each group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 versus CNT, ## P < 0.01 versus AIA
