“…Finally, the increased popularity of insecticides such as fipronil and pyrethroids make them also an interesting object of study, with 7 articles for fipronil, 7 more for cypermethrin and 6 for deltamethrin for instance. Differentiated cells were preferentially used in neuron-specific endpoints that need phenotypic characteristic of mature neurons such as cell membrane potential [51,53], acetylcholine receptor (AChR) signaling [51][52][53], voltage-gated calcium channel (VOCC) flux [51][52][53], intracellular calcium homeostasis [51,52,58], neurite outgrowth [51,52,[57][58][59][60][61], and expression of genes involved in functional properties of neuronal cells such as the gene encoding TH, an enzyme involved in dopaminergic function [62]. Finally, in some studies that analyzed the activities of acetylcholine and neuropathy target esterases (AChE, NTE), cells were differentiated to increase expression of these enzymes [63][64][65][66]58].…”
