Recently the environmental obesogen hypothesis has been formulated, proposing a role for endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in development of obesity. To evaluate this hypothesis, screening system obesogenic is urgently needed. In study, we suggest standardised protocol based on 3T3-L1 cell line, well-characterised adipogenesis model, and direct fluorescent measurement using Nile red lipid staining technique. first phase, characterised assay acknowledged obesogens rosiglitazone...
ABSTRACT Apoplastic reactive oxygen intermediates, which are formed during the exposure of a higher plant to ozone (O 3 ), have been proposed be detoxified by apoplastic ascorbate (ASC). An investigation determine whether differential sensitivity two white clover clones ( Trifolium repens L. cv Regal) O was related with their levels ASC, glutathione derivatives or total antioxidative capacity. In contrast what might expected, sensitive clone (NC‐S) constitutively showed 72% concentration ASC...
ABSTRACT In view of its importance for human nutrition, the European Commission funded a collaborative research programme (1998–99) to evaluate impact future increases in atmospheric ozone (O 3 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 concentrations on yield tuber quality potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.). This was first large‐scale open‐top chamber project provide field‐based data spanning wide range climatic conditions widely used cultivar, cv. Bintje. Intensive measurements physiological developmental...
Abstract: Brassicaceae are characterised by glucosinolates (GS), which appear to be involved not only in biotic but also abiotic stress responses of plants. We investigated the effect O 3 on leaf GS concentrations two lines Brassica napus L., differing content. Ozone fumigation decreased leaves B. one line. In control conditions, chlorophyll content, rates saturating photosynthesis, and quantum yield photosystem 2 differed between lines, differences were smaller □stress suggesting that...
