In this work we have characterized and compared chitin sourced from exoskeleton of Tenebrio molitor larvae fed with polystyrene or plastic kitchen wrap combined bran in the ratio 1: 1 only bran. Analysis frass by ATR-FTIR showed very similar spectra confirmed degradation feed components, while analysis verified absence any residue. Deproteinization followed demineralization produced 6.78-5.29 % chitin, showing that (polystyrene wrap) diet resulted heavier insect exoskeleton, but yielded...
Constitutive release of NO blunts intrinsic and stimulated contractile activity in cerebral arteries (CA). Here, we explored whether phosphorylation expression levels the PKG-sensitive, leucine zipper positive (LZ+ ) splice variants regulatory subunit myosin phosphatase (MYPT1) are involved its is associated with higher cGMP sensitivity.Vascular contractility was investigated by wire myography. Phosphorylation MYPT1 determined Western blotting.Constitutive MYPT1-T696 T853 lower that S695...
Abstract This study aimed to determine the effect of magnetic fields on antioxidative defense and fitness‐related traits Baculum extradentatum . Following exposure fields, (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) activities, total glutathione (GSH) content) (egg mortality, development dynamics, mass nymphs) were monitored in nymphs. The experimental groups were: control (kept out influence magnets), a group exposed constant field (CMF) 50 mT, an alternating (AMF) Hz, 6 mT. We found...
In this study we investigated the effects of tannic acid on fitness-related traits in gypsy moth larvae from two differently adapted populations. Thirty full-sib families oak (suitable host plant, Quercus population), and twenty six locust-tree (unsuitable Robinia population) forests were reared artificial diets with or without a 5% supplement. Tannic shortened duration larval development till 4th instar population, decreased mass both Local adaptation was not recorded for any examined...
There is considerable concern about potential effects associated with exposure to magnetic fields on organisms. Therefore, duration of pupa-adult development and motor behaviour adults were analyzed in Tenebrio obscursus T. molitor after static field (50 mT).The experimental groups were: Control (kept 5 m from the magnets), which pupae placed closer North pole, or South pole dipole. The exposed until moment adult eclosion. dynamics recorded daily. Subsequently, (distance travelled, average...
Increased presence of benzo[a]pyrene in the environment underlines need for development sensitive biomarkers monitoring. Antioxidative enzymes could be used as early-warning signals because their sensitivity and applicability. The activity 2 antioxidative enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD) catalase (CAT), were measured midgut tissues fifth instar Lymantria dispar larvae exposed to different concentrations benzo[a]pyrene: ng, 10 20 100 200 2000 ng benzo[a]pyrene/g dry food weight. Larval...
The aim of the present study was to determine does extremely low frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF, 50 Hz, 0.5 mT) affect pituitary adrenocorticotroph (ACTH) cells in adult animals. We performed two series experiments: (1) short-term exposure 3-month-old rats ELF-MF for 1 and 7 days, (2) long-term from their conception 3 months age. Stereological on immunolabeled ACTH cells. total number volume cells, nuclei were measured. day significantly decreased nuclei, as well volume. days reduced only...
Summary Compelling evidence confirms the use of moderate static magnetic field (SMF) for therapeutic purposes. In order to provide an insight into mechanisms underlying SMF treatment, it is essential examine cellular responses elicited by therapeutically applied SMF, especially in nervous system. The Na+/K+ pump, creating and maintaining gradient Na+ K+ ions across plasma membrane, regulates physiological properties neurons. this study, we examined expression pump isolated...
Modification of a new method for detecting changes in the activities neuronal population and nearest neuron is described. Preliminary measurements influence static magnetic field (2 mT) on activity eight individuals an endangered insect species Morimus funereus are included. Five minutes exposure produced both excitatory (5/8) inhibitory (3/8) effect M. antennal lobe. However, when reversibility induced effects was quantitatively analyzed, our results showed that they were prevailingly...
In this study, a static magnetic field influence on development and viability in two different species, Drosophila melanogaster hydei, was investigated. Both species completed (egg–adult), out of the induced by double horseshoe magnet. Treated vials with eggs were placed gap between poles (47 mm) exposed to average induction 60 mT, while control ones kept far enough from source. We found that exposure reduced time both but statistical significance only for D. hydei. Furthermore, we...
The European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) is one of the most important insect pests maize, and has a significant impact on production this crop. In work, we examined effects different insecticides antioxidative defense system O. nubilalis larvae. experimental setup consisted completely randomized block design with 4 replicates. Four groups were formed as follows: control (C), indoxacarb (250 mL ha-1), chlorantraniliprole (100 ha-1) chlorantraniliprole+lambda cyhalothrin (200 group. Larvae...
We investigated the effects of acute and chronic treatments with cadmium at 10 μg Cd/g dry food 30 on α-glucosidase activity 4th instar larvae Lymantria dispar (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) as well subsequent recovery. Enzyme inhibition was recorded during exposure to treatment lower metal concentration. After three days recovery from food, returned control level. One-way ANOVA showed that significantly influenced all treatments. The index phenotypic plasticity higher than detected four...
