Article Synopsis
- Bees exposed to pesticides like thiamethoxam and pyraclostrobin showed changes in their flight behavior and molecular functions, particularly related to energy metabolism and endocrine regulation.
- Although no significant effects on survival or return rates were found, pesticide exposure reduced how long foragers spent outside the hive, suggesting that their flight behavior is linked to gene expression changes.
- Laboratory experiments indicated altered expression of specific genes after pesticide exposure, but more research is required to fully understand how these genes relate to the extended homing flight duration.
Erythropoietin (Epo) is essential for erythropoiesis and is mainly produced by the fetal liver and the adult kidney following hypoxic stimulation. Epo regulation is commonly studied in hepatoma cell lines, but differences in Epo regulation between kidney and liver limit the understanding of Epo dysregulation in polycythaemia and anaemia. To overcome this limitation, we have generated a novel transgenic mouse model expressing Cre recombinase specifically in the active fraction of renal Epo-producing (REP) cells.
