... and glutamine (Gln) levels in the hemolymph, together with an increase of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) and glutamine synthetase (GS) activity, indicating a central role for Pt Rh in ammonia excretion and detoxification mechanisms. Taken together, we conclude that Rh protein is a primary contributor to ammonia...

... served as the control at 80 kDa. Epithelial lysosomes of invertebrates have long been known to be sites of molecular degradation and xenobiotic sequestration and detoxification ( Al-Mohanna and Nott, 1985 ; Al-Mohanna and Nott, 1987 ; Al-Mohanna and Nott, 1989 ; Hopkin, 1989 ; Viarengo et al...

... as the classical roles in osmoregulation, the Malpighian tubule is highly specialized for organic solute transport, and for metabolism and detoxification. In Drosophila , the adult Malpighian tubule is the key tissue for defence against insecticides such as DDT; and it can also detect and mount an autonomous...

Ahearn SUMMARY Crustacean hepatopancreatic lysosomes are organelles of heavy metal sequestration and detoxification. Previous studies have shown that zinc uptake by lysosomal membrane...

... % of the estimated amount of consumed zinc and copper in the abdomen of flies fed food containing several hundred parts per million dry mass of these metals. Our results are inconsistent with the detoxification hypothesis that predicts that a large proportion of the heavy metals passing through the gut are absorbed...
