“…According to the extent of muscle damage, RONS can further damage the muscle tissue but they also play a significant role for muscle regeneration and the adaptation of muscle tissues to eccentric exercise by mediating the up-regulation of antioxidant enzymes and the mitohormetic effects of exercise [ 14 , 16 , 18 , 70 , 79 , 120 , 136 , 137 , 138 , 139 , 140 , 141 , 142 , 143 , 144 , 145 , 146 , 147 , 148 , 149 , 150 , 151 ]. As a consequence of the activation of all the previous mentioned mechanisms in response to EIMD muscle cells’ autophagy, apoptosis, and regeneration-adaptation molecular mechanisms are upregulated, to reinforce the regeneration of muscle cells [ 103 , 136 , 141 , 144 , 146 , 148 , 152 , 153 , 154 , 155 , 156 , 157 , 158 , 159 , 160 , 161 , 162 , 163 , 164 , 165 , 166 , 167 , 168 , 169 ,…”
