2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid induces ROS activation in NLRP3 inflammatory body-induced autophagy disorder in microglia and the protective effect of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide.

The pesticide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) exerts neurotoxic effects; however, its action mechanism remains unclear. Here, we used BV2 cells as a model and divided them into six groups: control group (serum-free medium), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (1 μg/mL), 2,4-D (1.2 μmol/mL), Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP; 300 μg/mL LBP), LPS (1 μg/mL) + LBP (300 μg/mL), and 2,4-D (1.

Effects of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid on the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome and autophagy-related proteins as well as the protective effect of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide in neonatal rats.

The pesticide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) has neurotoxic effects, but its mechanism is not clear. In this study, a 2,4-D (75 mg/kg. b.

Responses of root architecture development to low phosphorus availability: a review.

Background: Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for plant growth and development but it is often a limiting nutrient in soils. Hence, P acquisition from soil by plant roots is a subject of considerable interest in agriculture, ecology and plant root biology. Root architecture, with its shape and structured development, can be considered as an evolutionary response to scarcity of resources.
