-Nosema species were determined in honey bees from Balkan countries. A total of 273 Nosemapositive samples were analysed. Duplex PCR and PCR-RFLP with newly designed primers, nos-16S-fw/rv, were used to differentiate between N. apis and N. ceranae. N. apis was detected in only one sample (col-

The results suggest that the 11βHSD1-mediated elevation of intracellular corticosterone may induce GR downregulation, which may be associated with failure of GR to stimulate lipolysis in fructose-fed female rats.

The results suggest that fructose overconsumption-related alterations in pro-inflammatory markers and antioxidative capacity in the VAT of young female rats can be implicated in the development of adiposity, but do not affect inhibitory phosphorylation of IRS-1.

Prolonged overconsumption of fructose and chronic exposure to stress promote opposite effects on lipid metabolism in the VAT of adult female rats and suggest that these effects could be mediated by glucocorticoids.
