Exploring uncoupling proteins and antioxidant mechanisms under acute cold exposure in brains of fish.

Exploring uncoupling proteins and antioxidant mechanisms under acute cold exposure in brains of fish.

Exposure to fluctuating temperatures accelerates the mitochondrial respiration and increases the formation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) in ectothermic vertebrates including fish. To date, little is known on potential oxidative damage and on protective antioxidative defense mechanis...
