Dr. Helen Blau and Telomeres in Mouse Model

With Stanford University's Dr. Blau's speech in reference to the Duchenne mouse model and how shortened telomeres mimic Duchenne in boys, she stated that they gave antioxidants to the mice which reduced degeneration. Has anyone found out which antioxidants she used in her studies, and how much?

Thanks Jason, I am glad to read the discussion about the overview/ article. In the video I posted, she talks about giving these mice antioxidants that helped reduce the muscle breakdown. I am trying to find out what type of antioxidants and how much.
