Relationship between Oxidative Stress and Impairment of Mitochondrial Function in Tan Sheep Meat during Cooling Storage by WEI Zhibao, LUO Ruiming, GAO Shuang, YANG Dongsong, HU Yao, ZHANG Heyu, MA Jiarong

“…After 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 days, the opening degree of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP), membrane potential, reactive oxygen species (ROS) content, complex I, II, III and IV activities, the activities of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were determined, and the mitochondrial structure of myoblasts was observed under transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that the opening degree of MPTP in both the NAC and control groups gradually increased (P < 0.05) during the postmortem maturation process, and so did the ROS and MDA levels (P < 0.05). …”
