DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2018.04.487
Abstract: One of the most common problems associated with lifestyle today is obesity. Obesity increases oxygen consumption because of increased mechanical load and myocardial metabolism. Thus, there is an increase in the formation of mitochondrial respiratory… read more here.
