Are soleus , plantaris and gastrocnemius VEGF mRNA responses to hypoxia and exercise preserved in aged compared with young female C57BL/6 mice?
These findings suggest that ageing does not impair the potential for non-pathological angiogenesis in mice and that acute exercise increases VEGF mRNA in the soleus, plantaris and gastrocnemius muscles, which differ considerably in fibre type percentage.
Overexpression of SOD1 in whole lens prevents H2O2-induced oxidative damage (cataract formation) to the lens and subsequent control of gap junctions by protein kinase Cgamma.
