The marks of oxidative stress in skeletal muscle of the experimental groups. Quantification of skeletal muscle a H2O2, b MDA, c lipid hydroperoxides and d carbonyl contents. e Immunofluorescence staining for dihydroethidium (DHE). Scale bar = 100 μm. f Quantification of DHE intensity. Results are presented as the mean ± SD, n = 6 per group. Mean value was significantly different from that of the sham group: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. Mean value was significantly different from that of the NPD group: †P < 0.05, ††P < 0.01. Mean value was significantly different from that of the LPD group: ‡P < 0.05. Sham, normal-protein diet; NPD, normal-protein diet; LPD, low-protein diet; LPD + KA, low-protein diet supplemented with ketoacids
