Oxidative stress is involved in normal and pathological functioning of skeletal muscle. Protection of myoblasts from oxidative stress may improve muscle contraction and delay aging. Here we studied the effect of sumac fruit extract on human myoblasts and zebrafish embryos in conditions of hydrogen p...
