Molecular Impact of Sublethal Spinetoram Exposure on Honeybee () Larval and Adult Transcriptomes.

Pesticide toxicity is a global concern for honeybee populations, and understanding these effects at the molecular level is critical. This study analyzed the transcriptome of honeybees at larval and adult stages after chronic exposure to a sublethal dose (0.0017 µg a.

Assessment of Lambda-Cyhalothrin and Spinetoram Toxicity and Their Effects on the Activities of Antioxidant Enzymes and Acetylcholinesterase in Honey Bee () Larvae.

Honeybees play a crucial role as agricultural pollinators and are frequently exposed to various pollutants, including pesticides. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the toxicity of lambda-cyhalothrin (LCY) and spinetoram (SPI) in honey bee larvae reared in vitro through single (acute) and repeated (chronic) exposure. The acute LD values for LCY and SPI were 0.

Transcriptome Profiling of Etridiazole-Exposed Zebrafish () Embryos Reveals Pathways Associated with Cardiac and Ocular Toxicities.

Etridiazole (EDZ) is a thiadiazole-containing fungicide commonly used to control and spp. Although previous studies have shown that EDZ is teratogenic, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying its toxicity remain unknown. In this study, a zebrafish (; ZF) model was used to explore the molecular pathways associated with EDZ toxicity.

In vitro assessments of bone microcomputed tomography in an aged male rat model supplemented with .

Recent research has confirmed that () has effect on cultured osteoblast of the mouse. In this study we aim to validate the usefulness of tibia quantification by correlating micro-computed tomographic (microCT) images with histology analysis in the aged male rats. A total of thirty - old male WISTAR rats were used and divided into ten 8 weeks rats and ten 112 weeks aged rats with vehicle and ten 112 weeks aged rats with (300 mg/kg/day).

Control Efficacy of sp. A501 against Ginseng Damping-off and Its Antifungal Substance.

Ginseng damping-off, caused by the fungal pathogens and sp., is a critical disease in ginseng seedling. In a continuing effort to find microorganisms with the potential of acting as a biocontrol agent against damping-off, we found that a sp.

Endosulfan-induced biomarkers in Japanese rice fish (Oryzias latipes) analyzed by SELDI-TOF-MS.

The objective of this study was to find and validate estrogen-related biomarkers from plasma proteins in Oryzias latipes after exposure to an estrogen disrupting compound, α-endosulfan. The acute toxicity of α-endosulfan on O. latipes after 96 h of exposure was 13.

Comparison of sample preparation methods for the recovery of foodborne pathogens from fresh produce.

Sample preparation methods (pummeling, pulsifying, sonication, and shaking by hand) were compared for achieving maximum recovery of foodborne pathogens from iceberg lettuce, perilla leaves, cucumber, green pepper, and cherry tomato. Antimicrobial and dehydration effects also were examined to investigate causes of poor recovery of pathogens. Each produce type was inoculated with Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus at 6.
