Effect of Antioxidants on Microsomal Enzymes of Rat Liver
1978
Rat diet was supplemented with butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) or ethoxyquin (EQ) for 14 days, and hepatic microsomal epoxide hydratase (EH) and monooxygenase were subsequently studied in vitro. The antioxidants increased EH activity. The increase was marked with BHT (factor 3) and EQ (factor 4) and was paralleled by an increase in a protein band on SDS polyacrylamide gels which migrated together with purified rat hepatic EH. A slight but nonsignificant increase in cytochrome P450 content and a moderate increase in ethoxycoumarin deethylation and cytochrome b5 content was also observed while aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity was not elevated. Irrever…
Italian Peninsula preserves an evolutionary lineage of the fat dormouse Glis glis L. (Rodentia: Gliridae)
2010
The present study examines the population genetic structure of fifty-nine specimens of Glis glis (Linneaus, 1766) from thirteen localities in central Europe, sequencing a 400-bp segment of the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt b) gene and a 673-bp segment of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. The consensus tree obtained from Bayesian analysis revealed a robust dichotomy, showing two sister groups: one clade includes samples from a wide geographical area, extending from north-central Europe to northern Italy (major branch sensu Bilton), and the other comprises samples collected in central and southern Italy and in Sicily (Italian branch). According to the Tajima–Nei model, the two …
