Punicic acid (PA) was enriched and purified from PSO by molecular distillation with significant anti‐inflammatory activity to RAW264.7 cells, as well as to zebrafish. Anti‐inflammatory mechanism involved regulating NF‐κB and MAPK signaling pathways. ABSTRACT Punicic acid (PA) is the main fatty acid in pomegranate seeds, which shows multiple biological ...

The relationship between cellular protein content and selenium accumulation in freshwater microalgae
Abstract Variability in the bioconcentration of selenium (Se) by primary producers at the base of the food web results in uncertainty in predictions of bioaccumulation and ecological risk to higher trophic level organisms. Water chemistry, speciation of Se, and periphyton community composition have all been suggested as factors that contribute to ...

Soil‐derived, gut‐dominant generalist bacteria shape the fitness of folivorous larvae
Whether Lepidoptera harbor a conserved core gut microbiome has long remained contentious. Through large‐scale microbiome profiling of folivorous larvae, their host plants, and associated soils across three climatically distinct regions of China, we identify two soil‐derived generalist bacteria, Ralstonia insidiosa and Delftia sp., that colonize 97.92 ...

ABSTRACT Environmental pollution by emerging contaminants such as nanoplastics (NPs) and graphene oxide (GO) represents a growing threat to global health and ecosystems. This study investigated the effects of parental exposure, both isolated and combined, to 100 μg/L NPs (polystyrene, spherical, 100 nm) and 100 mg/L GO, using Caenorhabditis elegans as ...

ABSTRACT Modafinil (2‐(benzhydrylsulfinyl)acetamide) is a psychostimulant commonly prescribed for sleep disorders such as narcolepsy, excessive daytime sleepiness, and obstructive sleep apnea. Recently, its use has extended beyond clinical indications, with neurotypical individuals adopting it as a smart drug to enhance alertness and cognitive ...

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

Developmental and Behavioral Effects of Arsenobetaine in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
ABSTRACT Arsenobetaine (AsB) is a prevalent organoarsenical in aquatic environments and is generally regarded as nontoxic. Despite its widespread occurrence, the developmental and neurobehavioral toxicity of AsB has not been systematically investigated.

ABSTRACT 6PPD‐quinone (6PPD‐Q), a transformation product of the tire antioxidant 6PPD, causes acute mortality in several salmonid species, but its toxicity varies markedly among fish species. Disruption of vascular‐barrier integrity and inflammatory signaling has been proposed as a key mechanism of 6PPD‐Q toxicity.

ABSTRACT Caves are extreme environments that impose stringent selective pressures on organisms. Consequently, many cave dwellers show extreme adaptations such as the loss of eyes, depigmentation, and a low resting metabolic rate. Yet, how the initial stages of adaptation to these extreme environments take place remains poorly understood.
