Primary structure of a copper-binding metallothionein from mantle tissue of the terrestrial gastropod Helix pomatia L [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1997
A novel copper-binding metallothionein (MT) has been purified from mantle tissue of the terrestrial snail Helix pomatia using gel-permeation chromatography, ion-exchange chromatography and reverse-phase HPLC.

Marchantia polymorpha Defense Against Snail Herbivory [PDF]

Plant-Environment Interactions
During the course of evolution, higher plants have developed efficient strategies to cope with herbivory from arthropods. Upon perception of herbivore‐derived cues, the jasmonic acid (JA) signaling pathway is activated and triggers the expression of ...

Histological changes and biochemical parameters in the hepatopancreas of terrestrial gastropod Helix aspersa as biomarkers of neonicotinoid insecticide exposure [PDF]

African Journal of Biotechnology, 2012
In this study, adult snails, Helix aspersa were used to estimate the effect of aneonicotinoid insecticide (thiametoxam) on biochemical parameters and histological changes in the hepatopancreas of this gastropod after a treatment of six weeks. During this

TOXICOLOGICAL STUDY OF COPPER OXIDE NANOPARTICLES (CuONPs) AGAINST A TERRESTRIAL GASTROPOD, THE SNAIL HELIX ASPERSA: MORPHOMETRIC, BIOCHEMICAL “ANALYSIS” AND HISTOPATHOLOGICAL EFFECTS

Applied Ecology and Environmental Research
. Chemical contamination of terrestrial ecosystems poses a significant threat as these environments accumulate pollutants from human activities, such as pesticides and heavy metal nanoparticles. Terrestrial gastropods are sentinel organisms considered to

Antitumor activity of edible fishes (Channa striata and Anabas testudineus) and gastropods (Helix aspersa and Pila virens) rudimentary mucus against HT-29 cell line and its biochemical properties

Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology
Background The mucus from fish and gastropods contains a wide range of bioactive molecules with biomedical properties. The fish and gastropods were collected from Oragadam lake, Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, India. In this study, we wanted to examine

Entomological Investigation of the Main Entomatic Adversities for Terrestrial Gastropods Helix aspersa Müller (Mollusca Gastropoda Pulmonata): A Preliminary Study in Sardinian Heliciculture Farms [PDF]

Insects, 2022
In the years 2020–2022, a survey was carried out with the aim of controlling the entomofauna present in seven Sardinian snail farms. The sampling was carried out during the spring–summer and autumn–winter periods, corresponding to the production cycles of the Helix aspersa snails (Müller, 1774), the species most frequently bred in snail farms.

The Giant Marine Gastropod Campanile Giganteum (Lamarck, 1804) as a High‐Resolution Archive of Seasonality in the Eocene Greenhouse World

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Giant gastropods are among the largest mollusks in the fossil record, but their potential as paleoseasonality archives has received little attention.

DNA Methylation Inhibition Reversibly Impairs the Long-Term Context Memory Maintenance in Helix. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2023
This work aims to study the epigenetic mechanisms of regulating long-term context memory in the gastropod mollusk: Helix. We have shown that RG108, an inhibitor of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT), impaired long-term context memory in snails, and this ...
