En Satyrinae, se han empleado para estudios evolutivos los genes mitocondriales de la citocromo oxidasa subunidad uno (COI), dos (COII) y b (
Cyt b), NADH deshidrogenasa subunidad uno (ND1) y cinco (ND5), ARN ribosomal 16S (ARNr 16S) y la region control (CR).
METHODS: Cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), cytochrome c (
cyt c), phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (p-ERK), caspases, morphologic change, and functional changes in HEI-OCI cells, rat cochlear explants, and mouse cochlea after [Cd.sup.2+] exposure were measured by flow cytometry, immunohisto-chemical staining, Western blot analysis, and auditory brainstem response (ABR) recording.
