It is well established that contracting skeletal muscles produce radicals and the rate of radical production in muscles rises as the exercise intensity is increased (Powers & Jackson, 2008)
An increased ROS load with unaugmented Gpx/GR ratio was also modelled to demonstrate the behaviour of a system that did not have higher Gpx concentration compared with GR, as would occur without introduction of our plasmid containing the enzymes in series
Additionally, glutathione plays a crucial role in melanin regulation
