Chlorfenapyr Induces Hepatotoxicity Associated With Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Dysfunction Involving Keap1/Nrf2 Signaling

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chlorfenapyr (CHL) is a widely used pyrrole insecticide, but its hepatotoxic effects and underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study investigated the toxic effects of CHL on rat liver and BRL‐3A hepatocytes and explored the involvement of the Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway. Rats were administered CHL (10, 20, or 30 mg/kg) by

The CCCH-tandem zinc-finger protein OsTZF1 positively regulates basal immunity but suppresses Piz-t-mediated blast resistance in rice

Plant Communications
Plant nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors play a critical role in plant defense, but the mechanisms regulating their expression remain incompletely understood. Here, we report that the rice CCCH-tandem zinc-finger protein OsTZF1
