Hibernation, , histology of liver, DNA fragmentation, caspase 3 – caspase 7Abstract
This study described the changes in the liver of Uromastyx acanthinura (Bell, 1825) males and females during hibernation and activity seasons. The results revealed that, hibernation causes increase fatty liver and pigment cells with abundant damage, comparing with nearly normal structure and less fatty liver after the hibernation with almost normal pattern. Genomic DNA showed apparent separation during hibernation. Also, caspase3 and caspase7 activity reached a high level in the liver tissue during hibernation comparing with activity season.
