To achieve the aim, a range of parameters were measured including immune parameters (both at physiological and molecular levels), growth performance and digestive enzyme activity. ...
Moreover, 16S rRNA sequencing of the gut microbiota demonstrated alterations in the composition of fecal bacteria upon exposure to NNK and BaP. The increased levels of actinomycetes, bifidobacteria, and Enterobacteriaceae, alongside the decreased levels of physiologic bacteria, visceral odor bacteria, and Acetatifactor bacteria, were associated ...
BPA exposure could significantly (p < 0.05) alter body length, locomotion behaviors, brood size, cell apoptosis, and selected stress‐related genes expressions. At the physiological level, BPA exerted adverse effects on nematodes at the µg/L level in both assay systems, with head thrashes as the most sensitive endpoint. At the biochemical ...
The toxic response in seedlings receiving As(V), manifested as inhibition in physiological parameters such as WUE, Gs, A, E, qp and ETR along with the growth. Arsenic accumulation significantly decreased with Se(IV) treatment (0.5, 1 and 2 µg ml−1) in a dose dependent manner (20%, 35%, 53%, respectively), however, it compromised the PO43‐ level and ...
