Background
Exercise induces changes in several organs and tissues, and this process might be due to oxidative damage caused by free radicals and inflammatory mediators. Methyl Sulphonyl Methane, better known as MSM, is a naturally occurring sulphur compound with well-known antioxidant properties. On the other hand, Vitamin C is important in limiting free radical damage in the aqueous phase of the cell, and cellular vitamin C status may be linked to the mechanisms involved in quenching cellular reactive oxygen species. The aim of this study was to determine if supplementation with MSM and vitamin C could alleviate exercise-induced oxidative stress in horses undergoing jumping competition. 相似文献32.

In Escherichia coli, during survival under adverse conditions, namely starvation and luminous radiation, two things occur. On the one hand organic substances are released into the surrounding medium and on the other there is a transition from the culturable state to viable but non-culturable (VBNC). An analysis of organic molecules released into the surrounding medium showed the presence of proteins, dissolved free amino acids, and dissolved monomeric carbohydrates. The concentration of these substances in the medium changed with exposure time, type of stress and type of molecule. The proteins accumulated in the medium and in some cases their identification revealed the presence of components of the outer membrane. Variations in the concentration of amino acids and carbohydrates point to a twofold process of excretion and uptake. Indeed, cell free supernatants supported the growth of several generations of a population of 10(4) cells ml(-1). The survival of E. coli in supernatants previously colonized by cells in the VBNC state was greater than that observed in the control experiments, with a short delay in the loss of culturability. It was thus clear that organic molecules released into the medium play a role in the transition from culturable to VBNC state. 相似文献

Instances of range contraction and population decline in bird species in Europe are more common than cases of recovery following decline. Here we report on the recovery and expansion processes of an endangered bird species in Europe, the purple swamphen (Porphyrio porphyrio L., Rallidae), with special reference to the Iberian Peninsula, its main distribution area in Western Europe. After a drastic decline during the first half of the 20th century, which restricted its range to a few areas in southern Spain, the Iberian population has recovered. Currently, the species occurs in a range similar to the one it had at the beginning of the 20th century, and has even colonized new areas. These processes seem to be the result of both human-mediated (effective protection of the species and suitable habitats; success of reintroduction programs as expansion focuses of birds colonizing nearby and distant regions [>300 km] wetlands) and natural factors (inter- and intra-seasonal cycles of wet and dry years). Thus, we found a significant relationship between rainfall and bird abundance and productivity, suggesting that such inter- and intra-seasonal cycles may have significant effects on demographic parameters that could be related to the expansion process. Finally the species shows remarkable adaptability, as proven by data on breeding success in recently colonized areas and the ability to breed shortly after reintroduction. We hypothesize that saturation of breeding habitats in established areas, a reasonable habitat continuity and favorable environmental conditions, and protection have facilitated the dispersion of birds. 相似文献

Effect of growth phase and parental cell survival in river water on plasmid transfer between Escherichia coli strains. 下载免费PDF全文
We evaluated the transfer to and from Escherichia coli of endogenously isolated plasmid material from the River Butrón during the growth of three donor strains and two recipient strains as well as after the survival of these parental cells in river water. Transfer frequency varied greatly during the growth of donor cells, with minimum values in the exponential phase; frequency remained constant, however, during the growth of recipient strains. After survival in river water, donor cells lost their ability for plasmid transfer before any other physiological variations in the cells caused by environmental stress were detected. Under the same conditions and during equal periods, however, no variation in the ability of recipient cells to receive and express plasmid material was observed. 相似文献

Discharge of disinfected wastewater in recipient aquatic systems: fate of allochthonous bacterial and autochthonous protozoa populations 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
The discharge of disinfected effluents affects the bacterivorous ability of protozoa and the effect depends on the disinfectant applied. Chlorine provokes a decrease in the number of protozoa and a delay in the bacterivorous ability. The discharge of ozonated and peracetic acid-treated wastewater provokes only an initial slight decrease in bacterivorous ability. No correlation was found between toxicity values detected using the Microtox™ assay and the effect of disinfected effluents on freshwater protozoa populations. After the disinfection processes, recipient systems (fresh and marine water) have different effects on the survival of Escherichia coli populations discharged to them. The effect of the freshwater recipient system is less negative than the effect provoked by sea-water, and the differences detected depend on the disinfection treatment applied. The wastewater bacterial population as a whole is able to grow after discharge of disinfected wastewater to receiving waters. However, in the absence of predation or competition, the recipient systems exert selection, with rod-shaped bacteria predominating. 相似文献
