The effects of ten generational zinc or cadmium pre-exposure on metal tolerance among beet armyworm Spodoptera exigua individuals were compared. These assessed in animals from the 11th generation, reared a diet either uncontaminated contaminated with (cadmium zinc). survival rate larvae and degree accumulation (in larvae, pupae moths; larval organs: gut fat body) analysed. Catalase, superoxide dismutase glutathione transferase activity organs subjected to different treatments also measured....
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity hemocytes adult Steatoda grossa females cadmium and copper administered orally for 4 weeks or 12 months, check metabolic condition these cells after immunostimulation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). viability (flow cytometry luminescence techniques), their ultrastructure (transmission electron microscopy), antioxidant activity hemolymph (superoxide dismutase, catalase, total capacity; TAC) were analyzed. results showed...
Abstract Different factors, such as starvation and metal exposure, may affect development cause oxidative stress in insects. Some host plants contain a high concentration of cadmium due to their hyperaccumulating property. The negative effects metals hunger be manifested by low availability energetic substrates. This study aimed assess whether the insect population with history long exposure better manage or/and at different developmental stages, use Two strains Spodoptera exigua model...
Abstract Tryptophan (TRP) is one of the essential amino acids in animal body. Its exogenicity and low concentrations mean that it can be regarded as key regulatory molecules at cellular well physiological level. It has been shown to have a number functions, such production other biologically active molecules. The main objective this project was investigate effects high monosaccharide diet (HMD) on hemimetabolic insect—house cricket ( Acheta domesticus ) mutant strain with impaired visual...
