The effect of oxidative stress on phagocytosis and apoptosis in the earthworm Eisenia hortensis

The effect of exogenous hydrogen peroxide (H202) on phagocytic function and apoptosis in coelomocytes from Eisenia hortensis was investigated. Treating coelomocytes with H202 (0.26 to 8.4 mM) evoked a significant increase in phagocytosis for one or more of the concentrations of H202 employed in 67...
