Alteration of mitochondrial membrane potential (∆Ψm) and phosphatidylserine translocation as early indicators of heavy metal-induced apoptosis in the earthworm Eisenia hortensis

Alteration of mitochondrial membrane potential (∆Ψm) and phosphatidylserine translocation as early indicators of heavy metal-induced apoptosis in the earthworm Eisenia hortensis

The effects of the heavy metals cadmium and copper (50-500 µM) on the apoptotic events involving changes in mitochondrial membrane potential (∆Ψm) and phosphatidylserine (PS) translocation were investigated in the immune cells (celomocytes) of the earthworm Eisenia hortensis. Using the fluorescent p...
