Alteration of mitochondrial membrane potential (DELTA_PSI_m) 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 ìM) on the apoptotic events involving changes in mitochondrial membrane potential (ÄØm) and phosphatidylserine (PS) translocation were investigated in the immune cells (celomocytes) of the earthworm Eisenia hortensis. Using the fluorescent p...
