Broflanilide exerted negative impacts on the gill of zebrafish. Thus, in this study, zebrafish gill was used to assess the apoptosis toxicity of broflanilide by determining the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and malondialdehyde (MDA) and apoptosis-related genes. The results found that the minimum threshold for the content and time of broflanilide affecting enzyme content and gene expression was 0.26 mg/L after 24 h exposure. After 96 h exposure, broflanilide could cause apoptosis and exerted significantly increased contents of ROS and MDA, while inhibiting the activities of SOD, CAT, and GPx at 0.26 and 0.57 mg/L. Broflanilide also had adverse effects on apoptosis-related genes, such as tumor protein p53 (p53), associated × (Bax), B-cell lymphama-2 (Bcl-2), caspase-3, caspase-9, and apoptotic protease activating factor-1(apaf-1), at 0.26 mg/L and 0.57 mg/L after 96 h exposure, respectively. These results provide new insight into the potential toxicity mechanisms of broflanilide in zebrafish gills.

Climate warming and frequent incidents of extreme high temperatures are serious global concerns. Heat stress induced by high temperature has many adverse effects on animal physiology, especially in aquatic poikilotherms. Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is sensitive to high temperatures, this study evaluated the harmful effects of heat stress on the neurotoxicity, intestinal health, microbial diversity, and metabolite profiles.

Testicular ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury during testicular torsion is strongly influenced by oxidative stress caused by excessive accumulation of unscavenged reactive oxygen species. This study aimed to investigate the effects of intra-peritoneal administration of Mito-TEMPO (MT) on I/R injury in testicular torsion/detorsion (T/D) in mice. Forty-two male mice were divided into seven groups including 1 control and 6 treatment groups (360° T/D, 720° T/D, 360° T/D + 0.

Background: Tris (2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP), a widely used flame retardant, is widespread in the environment and potentially harmful to organisms. However, the specific mechanisms of TCEP-induced neurological and reproductive toxicity in fish are largely unknown. Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) is cultivated on a large scale, and the emergence of pollutants with endocrine disrupting effects seriously affects its economic benefits.

Objective: Pregnancy in cattle after embryo transfer (ET) is influenced by several factors, including embryo quality. Therefore, preparing high-quality embryos with the greatest developmental potential is essential for achieving a successful pregnancy after ET. Meanwhile, blastocysts produced by in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure have different developmental speed during in vitro culture (IVC) and they exhibited different competence in the establishment of pregnancy.

This study aimed to investigate the mechanism by which Se in regulates the proliferation and apoptosis of sheep Leydig cells via the miR-200a/NRF pathway. The cells were isolated and purified from the testes of 8-month-old sheep via a Percoll density gradient. After the cells were treated with different concentrations of Se (0, 2.
