Furthermore, treatments with broad ROS scavengers, such as Vitamin E and β‐carotene, or more specific inhibitors of ROS production, such as XO inhibitor allopurinol, have been efficient in alleviating muscle atrophy in rodents and humans (Kondo et al., 1991; Derbre et al., 2012; Ogawa et al., 2013; Ferrando et al., 2018). This evidence concerns the gene XDH and Atrophy.
