Article Synopsis
- Studies on mitochondrial genome evolution show varying results, particularly in flatworms, which have the fastest-evolving mitogenomic sequences among bilaterians.
- Researchers analyzed 223 flatworm species using phylogenetic models, finding that factors like thermic host environment and longevity had minimal effect on sequence evolution and genome size.
- The study highlights that parasitism significantly explains branch length variability in flatworms, with free-living turbellaria evolving more quickly than parasitic Neodermata, suggesting the need to consider lineage-specific factors and the episodic nature of evolutionary changes in these analyses.
The present study aims to evaluate the effects of 2-ethylhexyldiphenyl phosphate (EHDPP) on glycolipid metabolism in vivo. Adult male zebrafish were exposed to various concentrations (0, 1, 10, 100 and 250 μg/L) of EHDPP for 28 days, and changes in lipid and glucose levels were measured. Results indicated significant liver damages in the 100 and 250 μg/L EHDPP groups, which both exhibited significant decreases in hepatic somatic index (HSI), elevated activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in serum and liver, as well as hepatocyte vacuolation and nuclear pyknosis.
