Tsetse flies are the primary vectors of African trypanosomes, which are transmitted through blood feeding. To supplement this nutritionally limited diet, tsetse evolved an obligate mutualism with the bacterium Wigglesworthia glossinidia, ho...
Antioxidants, oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species in insects exposed to heat [0.03%]
昆虫抗氧化物、氧化应激及活性氧在高温暴露中的作用

Daniel González-Tokman et al.
In response to high temperatures, insect metabolic rates increase, favoring the release of higher amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These ROS need to be counteracted by antioxidants to avoid oxidative stress, which can lead to cell ...
