Tissue distributions and seasonal dynamics of glutathione and cysteine S-conjugates of microcystin-RR in feral fish from Lake Taihu were studied. High MC-RR-Cys was found in tissues, Mean MC-RR-Cys in kidney (0.253 μg g(-1) DW) was 4 times of that in liver (0.063 μg g(-1) DW). Ratios of MC-RR-Cys/MC-RR in liver/kidney reached as high as 5.3/39.8, respectively, meanwhile, kidney showed low accumulation of MC-RR and higher formation efficiency of MC-RR-Cys than liver (7.51× to liver), this suggested that MC-RR-Cys were significantly accumulated with the depletion of MC-RR, and it was selectively biotransformed to MC-RR-Cys in kidney for further excretion.

Vitamin D is crucial for maintaining bone health and development, and bone mineral accumulation during childhood and adolescence affects long-term bone health. Vitamin D deficiency has been widely recognized as one of the main causes of osteoporosis and fractures, especially during the growth and development stage of children. Recent studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency may affect the deviation of bone development in children by mediating lipid metabolism disorders, but its specific mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated.

Iodinated X-ray contrast media (ICM) are commonly detected at considerable concentrations in aquatic environments. The long-term pollution trends in ICM at the whole lake/river scale have not yet been investigated; therefore, the risks associated with ICM and the influences of environmental factors remain understudied. Herein, the occurrence and distribution of ICM in the surface water of Taihu Lake were comprehensively investigated.

Rare earth elements (REEs) are extensively utilized in industry, agriculture, advanced materials and other fields, leading to their dispersion in water bodies as emerging contaminants. Meanwhile, the coexistence of REEs and heavy metals (HMs) has become a novel form of water contamination (REE-HM co-contamination), though scientists have limited understanding of its hazards. Here, Chlorococcum sp.
