Specific limb abnormalities induced by hydrogen peroxide in tadpoles of Indian jumping frog, Polypedates maculatus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), one of the reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) and a potential inducer of nuclear transcription factors induces consistent type of abnormal limb development (truncated with bent skeletal elements) in the tadpoles of Indian jumping frog, Polypedates maculatus.

Melatonin effects on the melanophores in adults and tadpoles of Rana cyanophlyctis (Schneider)
Introduction: Effects of melatonin (MT) were comparatively examined on melanophores of isolated skin in adults and tadpole’s tailfin of a frog Rana cyanophlyctis. MT is generally considered as a potent melanophores aggregating hormone besides regulating the sleep wake cycle in vertebrates. Methods: Melanophore size index (MSI) was chosen as a recording parameter of the responses. Concentr...
متن کاملBlood Cell Profiles of the Tadpoles of the Dubois's Tree Frog, Polypedates teraiensis Dubois, 1986 (Anura: Rhacophoridae)
The present paper describes a sequential study of the leukocyte profiles and the changes in morphometry and morphology of erythrocytes in the tadpoles of Polypedates teraiensis during their development and metamorphosis, that is, transfer from an aquatic mode to a terrestrial mode of life. Blood smears of 21 different stages (Gosner stage 26 to 46) of tadpoles were investigated. Population of e...
متن کاملPopulation‐specific effects of developmental temperature on body condition and jumping performance of a widespread European frog
All physiological processes of ectotherms depend on environmental temperature. Thus, adaptation of physiological mechanisms to the thermal environments is important for achieving optimal performance and fitness. The European Common Frog, Rana temporaria, is widely distributed across different thermal habitats. This makes it an exceptional model for studying the adaptations to different thermal ...
متن کاملEnvironmentally induced mechanical feedback in locomotion: frog performance as a model.
At first glance, the strategy for generating propulsive impulses for both jumping and swimming in frogs is quite similar. Both modes rely on powerful extension of the hind limbs. However, in Rana esculenta (the semi-aquatic green frog), propulsive impulses for jumping were found to be much larger than those generated during swimming [Nauwelaerts and Aerts, 2003. Propulsive impulses as a covaryi...
متن کاملTHE EFFECT OF CONTINUOUS TRAINING ON RATE OF CASPASE3, BAX AND BCL-2 PROTEINS IN VASCULAR OF INDUCED POISONING INDUCED BY DIFFERENT DOSES OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
Background & Aims: Apoptosis is organized cellular death, induced by various physiological and pathological factors. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of continuous training on rate of Caspase3, BAX and BCL-2 proteins in rats vascular by induced poisoning due to various doses of hydrogen peroxide. Materials & Methods: 40 mature male wistar rats were randomly ass...
