TL;DR: The GSTs of exercise-trained animals showed increased peroxidase activity when compared to corresponding controls, which is consistent with the changes in subunit composition, which could be a response to the physiological oxidative stress induced by physical exercise.

TL;DR: House lizards are able to regenerate their tails and this is an ideal model to study the growth and differentiation of an organ and the activity of two rate-limiting enzymes and the appearance of endogenous PGE2 can stimulate cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production and it may stimulate a cascade of events associated with tissue differentiation.
Abstract: House lizards are able to regenerate their tails This is an ideal model to study the growth and differentiation of an organ Prostaglandins (PGs) are local hormones having diverse and potent biological activities In an effort to understand PG metabolism during the growth and differentiation of the regenerating lizard tail, we analysed the fatty acid (FA) composition of phospholipids are free FAs by GC, the activity of two rate-limiting enzymes (phospholipases A and C), the activity of the enzyme responsible for the oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids to PGs (cyclooxygenase) and characterized the endogenous PGs by HPLC It was observed that on the 20th day, ie the tissue differentiation period, there was an increase in phospholipase A activity, together with a sudden fall in the free arachidonic acid (AA) level, an increase in cyclooxygenase activity and the appearance of endogenous PGE2 PGE2 can stimulate cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production and it may stimulate a cascade of events associated with tissue differentiation
