Abstract:Exposure of ectothermic vertebrates to fluctuated temperatures accelerates mitochondrial respiration and has been shown to increase the formation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as O2−, H2O2, and O2−·. Excess ROS production by intensively respiring mitochondria is held responsible for cellular damage. The present study was to test whether a protective oxidative‐stress pathway would be initiated in fish central nervous system upon cold stress.Effects of acute cold exposure (from 28 °C to 18… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
