Antioxidants, pro-oxidants, and oxidative stress and damage were studied in larvae of cold-hardy goldenrod gall insects during freezing (-14 degrees C, 24 h), anoxia (under N-2 gas, 24 h), and upon recovery from these stresses. Although oxidized glutathione levels increased during freezing, no oxidative damage was seen upon recovery from freezing and anoxia in freezing tolerant Eurosta solidaginis. Antioxidant enzyme activities were unchanged except for catalase activity which increased gradually during freezing to peak at 147% of control values after 30 min of recovery at 3.5 degrees C. Xanthine oxidase activity was undetected in E. solidaginis. Anoxia and recovery in freeze avoiding Epiblema scudderiana also failed to result in oxidative damage, although a slight increase in the pro-oxidant xanthine oxidase (from 12.5 to 18% of total xanthine dehydrogenase + xanthine oxidase) was observed, No changes in antioxidant enzyme activities were observed in this species either during anoxia or upon aerobic recovery, The ability of these larvae to limit oxidative damage arising during oxygen reperfusion during freezing-or anoxia-exposures is suggested to play an important role in their capacity to survive these stresses.
