Biochemical responses to the toxicity of the biocide abamectin on the freshwater snail Physa acuta

Neuro and renal toxicity induced by chlorpyrifos and abamectin in rats

“…Actually, the use of AChE inhibition as biomarker to assess the toxic effects of organophosphates has been studied for a wide range of species and many different xenobiotics and is a well-accepted index of organophosphates toxicity both in vivo and in vitro (Sanchez-Hernandez and Walker 2000; Adedara et al 2015). Also, Ma et al (2014) reported that ABM exposure inhibited AChE activity in freshwater snail Physa acuta. ABM acts as an insecticide by affecting the nervous system and paralyzing insects (El-Shenawy 2010).…”

Emamectin benzoate (Proclaim®) mediates biochemical changes and histopathological damage in the kidney of male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus)

“…The accumulation of avermectin (AVM) in the environment makes AVM a major candidate for toxicological studies [18,19].…”

Cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in HepG2 cells induced by ionic liquid 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium bromide

“…Although ILs can reduce the risk of air pollution due to their insignificant vapor pressure, they do have significant water solubility and poor biodegradability (McFarlane et al, 2005;Couling et al, 2006;Das and Roy, 2013) and may be released to aquatic ecosystems by effluents or accidental spills, becoming a new threat to aquatic organisms (Ventura et al, 2010;Pham et al, 2010;Bubaloa et al,2014;Egorova and Ananikov, 2014). Recently, there have been a number of studies regarding ILs toxicity to aquatic organisms, for example, IL-toxicity evaluation in algae (Latała et al, 2009), cladocerans (Luo et al, 2008), snail (Ma et al, 2014a(Ma et al, , 2014b, and fish (Li et al, 2012a(Li et al, , 2013a.…”
