The level of an intracellular antioxidant during development determines the adult phenotype in a bird species: a potential organizer role for glutathione.

Abstract excerpt

Life-history traits are often involved in trade-offs whose outcome would depend on the availability of resources but also on the state of specific molecular signals. Early conditions can influence trade-offs and program the phenotype throughout the lifetime, with oxidative stress likely involved in many taxa. Here we address the potential regulatory role of a single intracellular antioxidant in life-history...
