#OxidativeStress a likely culprit. Acute exposure to various antioxidants improved function, particularly a #mitochondria targeted antioxidant. Diminished #NitricOxide signaling likely involved. Increased Arginase 1&2 expression with GCR.

Subgroups exposed to 4-weeks hindlimb unloading to simulate weightlessness. Different, but interesting effects observed there as well. Possibly⬇️smooth muscle quality.

Truth
Incoming PhD students: Building a habit to read journal articles is difficult and can get deprioritized after a long day of experiment. But it is probably the single most important differentiator for your success. Prioritize reading. Read. Every. Day.

Ice from my office mini-fridge freezer thawed onto a narrow tray just beneath, and this became my first time using my lab's serological pipette gun as a PI.
