چکیده

Whole body 60Co gamma irradiation of B . melanostictus with two sublethal doses of 3.5 and 7 Gy resulted in a significant increase (P < 0.001) in total lipid (hyperlipidemia), cholesterol content (hypercholesterolemia) and total free amino acid content, and significant decrease (P < 0.001) in total protein content in the liver tissues on post-irradiation day (PID) 1, 5 and 10 as compared to controls. The ratio of total lipid to cholesterol showed a gradual declining trend by PID-10 in the treated groups as compared to controls. However, it was more pronounced in the 7 Gy treated group. An observation on the ratio of total protein to total free amino acid content also showed a similar declining trend by PID-10 in both the treated groups as compared to controls.

Putative L-triiodothyronine receptors in the liver nuclei of mature tropical toad, Bufo melanostictus.

Thyroid hormones exert a major role in growth and differentiation of almost all types of tissues in animals, particularly in amphibian metamorphosis, through its specific nuclear receptor activation followed by gene expression. However, its function in mature tropical amphibians is less studied. The present study revealed the existence of a single class of specific nuclear receptor(s) in the li...

Effect of whole body gamma radiation on hepatic LDH activity, lactate, pyruvate concentration and rate of oxygen consumption in Bufo melanostictus.

Whole body Co60 gamma radiation induced changes in lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, pyruvate, lactate content and rate of oxygen (O2) consumption in a tropical hibernating anuran (Bufo melanostictus). In 3.5 and 7 Gy treated groups, a significant increase in LDH activity and lactate/pyruvate ratio was observed, whereas a significant decrease in O2 consumption rate was observed in treated an...

Deep genetic structure and ecological divergence in a widespread human commensal toad.

The Asian common toad (Duttaphrynus melanostictus) is a human commensal species that occupies a wide variety of habitats across tropical Southeast Asia. We test the hypothesis that genetic variation in D. melanostictus is weakly associated with geography owing to natural and human-mediated dispersal facilitated by its commensal nature. Phylogenetic and population genetic analyses of mitochondri...
