Using the 2 CT method [ relative expression (fold change) of forkhead box O1 (FoxO1) (5-AGCTCAAACGCTAGCACCAT-3 and 5-GGTGGATACACCAGGGAATG-3), glucagon (5-GCCGAGCAAGGCGAGACT-3and 5-CATGTCTGCGCCCAAGTTC-3), insulin (5-CCTGCCCAGGCTTTTGTCA-3 and 5-GGTGCAGCACTGATCCACAATG-3), X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) (5-GGTCTCAGAGGCAGAGTCCAAG-3 and 5-AGAGGCAACAGCGTCAGAATCC-3), Hspa5(BIP) (5-GAGGACAAGAAGGAGGATG-3 and 5-TTGGACGTGAGTTGGTTC-3), IL6 (5-GTCAACTCCATCTGCCCTTC-3 and 5-TGTGGGTGGTATCCTCTGTG-3), IL1 (5-GCCAACAAGTGGTATTCTCCA-3 and 5-TGCCGTCTTTCATCACACAG-3), HIF (5-TGGATGGCTTTGTTATGGTG-3 and 5-TGGTCACATGGATGGGTAAA-3), and GAPDH (5-TTAAGGGCATCCTGGGCTACACT-3 and 5-TTACTCCTTGGAGGCCATGTAGG-3) was normalized to -actin (5-GTCGTACCACTGGCATTGTG-3 and 5-CTCTCAGCTGTGGTGGTGAA-3) as the most suitable reference gene (expression level unaffected by the experimental treatment) and relative to the sham group as the calibrator

Long Description Build strength
To counteract the overproduction of ROS, the body has developed specialized antioxidant systems, whose first line of defense are antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), but also other redox proteins such as thioredoxins (TRX), peroxiredoxins (PRX) and glutaredoxins
