ALDH1/2 deficiency modulates dieldrin-induced dopaminergic neurodegeneration and reactive glial morphometry in male mice [PDF]
Frontiers in ToxicologyThe etiology of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is associated with exposure to environmental contaminants, including the organochlorine pesticide dieldrin. This is thought to occur through induction of oxidative damage and dysregulation of dopamine homeostasis ...

Pesticide Residues, Gut Microbiota, and Gastrointestinal Outcomes: A Scoping Review of Human Evidence. [PDF]
Compr Rev Food Sci Food SafABSTRACT Vegetables anchor healthy‐diet recommendations yet are the principal nonoccupational route by which residues of organophosphate (OP), pyrethroid, neonicotinoid, organochlorine (OC), and glyphosate herbicide enter the diet, with the gut microbiota a plausible mediator linking these residues to functional gastrointestinal (GI) and inflammatory ...

Multimodal targets of (-)-α-thujone mediating avoidance behavior of a stored-products pest, Tribolium castaneum, in response to irritant stimuli. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciWe identified four kinds of target molecules against (‐)‐α‐thujone associating avoidance behavior in Tribolium castaneum, indicating multimodality. Abstract BACKGROUND The reciprocal evolutionary processes among phytophagous insects and host plants involve host shift in the herbivorous insects in response to defense chemicals, such as plant‐derived ...

The effects of acute toxicity of dieldrin on HeLa Cell Line: An In Vitro assessment
International Journal of Environmental Health Engineering, 2023 Aim: Among environmental pollutants, there is a great concern about organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) due to their environmental persistence, accumulation in the food chain, detection in breast milk, and their ability to accumulate in adipose tissues. Due
