Acute toxicity (LC50) of fenvalerate at 96 h to the freshwater fish Cirrhinus mrigala was 6 microg/L. The accumulation of fenvalerate at different exposure periods (1, 2, 3, 4 d) on different tissues, namely gill, muscle, and liver, was first confirmed by thin layer chromatography and quantified with gas liquid chromatography. Gill accounted for the maximum accumulation of fenvalerate followed by muscle and liver. Enzyme assay indicated an increased activity of lactate dehydrogenase, whereas the activity of succinate dehydrogenase decreased continuously up to 96 h in all selected tissues. The alteration in the activity of these enzymes in the fish treated with fenvalerate might be due to the severe cellular damage leading to the release of these enzymes and impaired carbohydrate and protein metabolism.

In this study, we focused on confirming the steroid hormone receptor-mediated endocrine-disrupting potential of the pyrethroid insecticide fenvalerate and unraveling the underlying mechanisms. Therefore, we assessed estrogen receptor-α (ERα)- and androgen receptor (AR)-mediated responses in vitro using a hormone response element-dependent transcription activation assay with a luciferase reporter following the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) test guidelines. We observed that fenvalerate acted as estrogen by inducing the translocation of cytosolic ERα to the nucleus via ERα dimerization, whereas it exhibited no AR-mediated androgen response element-dependent luciferase activity.

The massive use of pyrethroid pesticides in agriculture has brought growing concerns about food safety due to their several harmful effects on human health, especially through the accumulation of the food chain. To date, most of the available analytical methods for pyrethroids still suffer from insufficient detection universality, complicated sample pretreatment, and detection processes, which severely limit their practical applications. Herein, a novel Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-assisted host-guest supramolecular nanoassembly is reported, for the first time, successfully realizing ratiometric fluorescent detection of pyrethroids in real samples through the indicator displacement assay (IDA) mechanism.

Accurate identification of the rational and standardized use of pesticides is important for the sustainable development of agriculture while maintaining a high quality. The insecticides thiamethoxam and fenvalerate and the vegetables spinach, cabbage, and lettuce were used here as study objects. Descriptive analysis and primary reaction kinetic equations were used to analyze the changes in metabolic residues of the two insecticides after different numbers of application in three vegetables.

Fenvalerate has the advantages of a broad insecticidal spectrum, high efficiency, low toxicity and low cost, and it is widely used in agriculture, especially in tea, resulting in the accumulation of fenvalerate residues in tea and the environment, posing a serious threat to human health. Therefore, the timely monitoring of fenvalerate residue dynamics is vital for ensuring the health of humans and the ecological environment, and it is necessary for establishing a fast, reliable, accurate and on-site method for detecting fenvalerate residues. Based on the methods of immunology, biochemistry and molecular biology, mammalian spleen cells, myeloma cells and mice were used as experimental materials to establish a rapid detection method of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to detect the residues of fenvalerate in dark tea.

Pyrethroids pesticides (PPs) are the widely adopted synthetic pesticides for agriculture and fishery. The frequent use of these pesticides leads to the accumulation of residues in the freshwater environments in China, subsequently affecting aquatic organisms and ecosystems. However, there are few reports on the toxicological and risk assessment of aquaculture aquatic products.
