Tyrosol prevents glucocorticoid-induced skeletal muscle damage

摘要: Excessive oxidative stress is linked to the pathogenesis of a variety of skeletal muscle disor-ders [1]. Therefore, natural antioxidants could play a relevant role to counteract skeletal muscle damage. In particular, Tyrosol, a flavonoid present in virgin oil and known for its protective effect against oxidative injury in various cell models [2], could be active in skeletal muscle too, even if, until now, its effective antioxidant actvity, both in vitro and in vivo, has not been exten-sively studied in this tissue.
