Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a group of cardiovascular risk factors associated with insulin resistance and driven by underlying factors, including visceral obesity, systemic inflammation, cellular dysfunction. The prevalence this condition among children adolescents has increased considerably in the last four decades. Thus, use noninvasive diagnostic techniques may allow early interventions population, preventing development or metabolic impairments adulthood. Objective: To...
Abstract Acetylcholinesterase (AChE; EC 3.1.1.7) inhibition in vitro is an effective method for monitoring pesticide contamination, particularly organophosphates, offering advantages over vivo approaches. Environmental factors like temperature, age, and stress can alter enzyme activity vivo, making controlled studies necessary. This research focused on the brain AChE of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), a key species global aquaculture, to detect organophosphate contamination. The study...
