The evolution of sperm morphometry in pheasants

2007

7 pages; International audience; Post-copulatory sexual selection is thought to be a potent evolutionary force driving the diversification of sperm shape and function across species. In birds, insemination and fertilization are separated in time and sperm storage increases the duration of sperm-female interaction and hence the opportunity for sperm competition and cryptic female choice. We performed a comparative study of 24 pheasant species (Phasianidae, Galliformes) to establish the relative importance of sperm competition and the duration of sperm storage for the evolution of sperm morphometry (i.e. size of different sperm traits). We found that sperm size traits were negatively associat…

Effect of oxidative stress on UDP-glucuronosyltransferases in rat astrocytes.

2012

WOS:000309170300003; International audience; The present work reports data regarding effects of an induced oxidative stress on the mainly expressed isoforms of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) in the brain. UGT1A6 and UGT1A7 expression and enzymatic activities toward the 1-naphthol were analyzed in rat cultured astrocytes following the exposure for 48 h to redox-cycling xenobiotic compounds such as quinones and bipyridinium ions. The expression of NADPH:cytochrome P450 reductase and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) was also investigated. Oxidative stress induced significant deleterious changes in astrocyte morphology, decreased cell viability and inhibited catalytic function of UG…
