A Comparative Study of Catalase Activities in Different Vertebrates
نویسنده
چکیده
Catalase is one of the most active antioxidant defence enzymes known for being highly cooperative with SOD and other H2O2 producers at high flux of hydrogen peroxide. In the present study, catalase activity was analyzed in liver samples of different animals both by ge l ac t iv i t y s ta in ing method as we l l as spectrophotometric biochemical method. Five different animals like fish (Cirrhinus mrigala), amphibia (Bufo melanistictus.), reptile (Calotes versicolor.), bird (Gallus domesticus.), and mammal (Rattus rattus) from five different classes of vertebrates were taken for the study. Catalases from these animals differ in activities as shown by biochemical assay method and activity staining method.

The effect of different thiourea (TU) concentrations (10 and 20 mM) on antioxidants, protease activity and protein content with and without H2O2 (50 mM) induced stress was investigated in wheat leaves. A gradual decrease in protein content with a peak at 72 hours was observed in stressed as well as control leaves. This gradual decrease in leaf protein content at different time intervals was com...
