Development of a New Sex Attractant via the Peripheral Coding of Pheromones in .
J Agric Food Chem
February 2023
Sex pheromones play an essential role when moths are searching for mates. Male olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) are the primary determinant during peripheral pheromone recognition. Here, we identified the sex pheromones of a global agricultural pest, , using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry and electroantennographic detection.

- Soil samples were collected from different profiles in the Chatian mercury mining deposit to analyze concentrations of heavy metals like mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and zinc (Zn).
- Results indicated that mercury accumulates at the surface near the mine entrance and underneath slag, with the highest concentrations found in the slag area, while being less concentrated further away from the mine.
- The study found that cadmium (Cd) pollution was notably severe, and mobility of the heavy metals ranked as Hg > Cd > As > Zn ≈ Pb, with human mining activities impacting their distribution and migration in the soil.
Fructose-1,6-diphosphate attenuates acute lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide in mice.
Int Immunopharmacol
December 2008
Fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP), a high-energy glycolytic pathway intermediate, is reported to have a salutary effect in endotoxic shock and sepsis, but its underlying mechanism of action in inflammation is incompletely understood. In this study, our aim was to examine the function of FDP on acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We found that in vitro pretreatment with FDP remarkably repressed the production of TNF-alpha and IL-6 in murine alveolar macrophages MH-S exposed to LPS.
