GABAergic modulation of lindane (γ-hexachlorocyclohexane)-induced seizures
, 2022 The main objective of this work was to study the role of the GABAergic system on the convulsions elicited by the organochlorine insecticide lindane. The concentration of lindane in rat brain at the onset of the first tonic convulsion was taken as the ...

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) growers who would like to biologically control major soil pests of potato face an increasing challenge. Two pest species have a major impact on yield quality: white grubs (Melolontha sp.; Eschscholtz, 1829) and wireworms (Agriotes sp.; Fabricius, 1775). Farmers who want to grow potatoes in a sustainable fashion to

Impact of organic pollutants on phenotype and gene expression in human breast cancer cells
Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 5, Page 1487-1505, May 2026.ABSTRACT Human exposure to industrial chemical compounds is widespread and, although often beneficial, prolonged contact may contribute to disease development, including cancer. While many studies have shown organic pollutants (OP) are cytotoxic, few have explored how long‐term exposure alters cell phenotype.

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.This study analyzed 20 goat milk samples from Kastamonu, Türkiye, detecting methoxychlor, β‐endosulfan, and p,p'‐DDE residues. While methoxychlor exceeded maximum residue limits (MRL) in 13 of 14 positive samples, other residues remained below established thresholds.
