Evolution of cubic membranes as antioxidant defence system
Possibly the best-characterized cubic membrane transition has been observed in the mitochondrial inner membranes of free-living giant amoeba (Chaos carolinense). In this ancient organism, the cells are able to survive in extreme environments such as lack of food, thermal and osmolarity fluctuations and high levels of reactive oxygen species. Their mitochondrial inner membranes undergo rapid cha...
متن کاملCompromised Rat Testicular Antioxidant Defence System by Hypothyroidism before Puberty
Altered thyroid function during early stages of development is known to affect adversely testicular growth, physiology, and antioxidant defence status at adulthood. The objective of the present study is to investigate the modulation of antioxidant defence status in neonatal persistent hypothyroid rats before their sexual maturation and also to identify the specific testicular cell populations v...
متن کاملQueuine promotes antioxidant defence system by activating cellular antioxidant enzyme activities in cancer.
Constant generation of Reactive oxygen species (ROS) during normal cellular metabolism of an organism is generally balanced by similar rate of consumption by antioxidants. Imbalance between ROS production and antioxidant defense results in increased level of ROS causing oxidative stress which leads to promotion of malignancy. Queuine is a hyper modified base analogue of guanine, found at first ...
متن کاملAutotomy reduces immune function and antioxidant defence.
Costs of autotomy, an antipredator defence, are typically explained by impaired mobility; yet physiologically mediated costs may also play a role. Given the resemblance to wounding, a decreased immune function and an associated reduction in antioxidant defence is expected after autotomy. In line with this, after lamellae autotomy, larvae of the damselfly Lestes viridis showed lower levels of in...
متن کاملeffects of mntnhex-2-pyp on lung antioxidant defence system in asthma mice model.
we aimed to study the mntnhex-2-pyp effect on some markers of lung antioxidant defence system in mice asthma model.the study was carried out on 28 c57b1/6 mice divided into four treatment groups: group 1 - controls; group 2 - injected and inhaled with ovalbumin; group 3 - treated with mntnhex-2-pyp and inhaled with phosphate buffered saline; group 4 - injected with ovalbumin and mntnhex-2-pyp b...
