Specific limb abnormalities induced by hydrogen peroxide in tadpoles of Indian jumping frog, Polypedates maculatus.
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), one of the reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) and a potential inducer of nuclear transcription factors induces consistent type of abnormal limb development (truncated with bent skeletal elements) in the tadpoles of Indian jumping frog, Polypedates maculatus.
