Wound healing and tissue regeneration are influenced by a variety of factors. Adverse lifestyle habits, such as excessive alcohol consumption, delay wound healing and increase the risk of secondary infections. Ethyl butyrate is a common food additive widely used to enhance the aroma of alcoholic beverages.

Due to its widespread use, d-tetramethrin is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant and poses potential risks to human health. However, the effects of d-tetramethrin on liver morphology and function are not clearly established.

Residues have recently been detected in surface and groundwater in many countries, and their potential to harm the environment is unknown. Therefore, more studies are needed to fully assess the toxicity of EBAAP.

Analyzing the variation in plant phenology under a changing environment can provide reference information to assess the impact of climate change on ecosystems and agricultural management. In this study, we focused on the thermal growth season, an important phenology index.

However, its toxicity to aquatic organisms is still poorly understood. Therefore, we assessed the pyridaben cardiotoxicity to aquatic organisms using the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model.

Flupyradifurone is a new type of butenolide insecticide produced by Bayer, who claims it to be "low toxic" to non-target organisms in the environment. However, there is little evidence in the literature to show how flupyradifurone affects aquatic organism development.

Famoxadone-cymoxanil is a new protective and therapeutic fungicide, but little research has been done on it or its toxicity in aquatic organisms. In this study, we used zebrafish to investigate the cardiotoxicity of famoxadone-cymoxanil and the potential mechanisms involved. Zebrafish embryos were exposed to different concentrations of famoxadone-cymoxanil until 72 h post-fertilization (hpf), then changes of heart morphology in zebrafish embryos were observed.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIprodione is a highly effective broad-spectrum fungicide commonly used for early disease control in fruit trees and vegetables. Pesticides often flow into watercourses due to rainfall, causing toxicity in non-target organisms, eventually entering the food chain. However, little information is available in the current literature about the toxicity of iprodione to cardiac development.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOxadiazon-Butachlor (OB) is a widely used herbicide for controlling most annual weeds in rice fields. However, its potential toxicity in aquatic organisms has not been evaluated so far. We used the zebrafish embryo model to assess the toxicity of OB, and found that it affected early cardiac development and caused extensive cardiac damage.
