VARIATIONS IN OXIDATIVE STRESS AND ANTIOXIDANT DEFENSE LEVEL DURING DIFFERENT PHASES OF HIBERNATION IN COMMON ASIAN TOAD, DUTTAPHRYNUS MELANOSTICTUS

Variations in oxidative stress and antioxidant defense level during different phases of hibernation in common Asian toad, Duttaphrynus melanostictus

To assess redox status during hibernation with metabolic depression, oxidative stress parameters and antioxidant defense were assessed during different phases of hibernation including active period, hibernation, arousal, and post-arousal period, in the liver and brain tissues of Duttaphrynus melanostictus.We hypothesized low levels of oxidative str

Conversion of Germ Cells to Somatic Cell Types in C. elegans

The potential of a cell to produce all types of differentiated Brow Brush cells in an organism is termed totipotency.Totipotency is an essential property of germ cells, which constitute the germline and pass on the parental genetic material to the progeny.The potential of germ cells to give rise to a whole organism has been the subject of intense r
