This in vivo model successfully characterized the effects of cooling on cytosolic and mitochondrial [H2O2] in mouse tibialis anterior skeletal muscle. Cooling decreased [H2O2] down to ∼13°C, but the effect was reversed at still lower temperatures. Sustained cooling decreased mRNA levels of antioxidant-related genes (Sod2, Cat, and Ucp3), whereas intermittent cooling increased Nrf mRNA expression. These results help elucidate the mechanistic bases for skeletal muscle adaptation to cooling.
