Symbiont-Mediated Modification of Mosquitocide Toxicity in the Dengue Vector, Aedes aegypti
… mosquitocide resistance. Here, I examined the metabolic detoxification and toxicity of two mosquitocides, propoxur and naled, and the capacity of bacterial symbionts to modify the detoxification of the mosquitocides and, thus, alter their toxic action in the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes …

Toxicological Analysis of the Neonicotinoid Insecticide Imidacloprid to Honey Bees, Apis mellifera, of Different Colonies
… values in the tested colonies, I examined the metabolic detoxification activities of honey bees collected from two colonies that represented the highest and lowest LC50 values, between which there was a 36-fold difference in their LC50 values. I discovered that of the three main families of …

Enzymatic defenses against plant phototoxins in phytophagous insects
… How do antioxidant enzymes interact with other metabolic detoxification enzymes?

Toxicological Analysis of Acaricides for Varroa Mite Management
… mites. My results find a significant increase in metabolic detoxification enzyme activities in acaricide-resistant mites compared to susceptible mites. Acetylcholinesterase of coumaphos-resistant mites was significantly less sensitive to the toxic coumaphos metabolite compared to susceptible …

Biochemical and molecular basis for metabolism-based atrazine resistance in Amaranthus tuberculatus
… weed control in maize (Zea mays). Rapid detoxification of s-triazine herbicides is the result of increased glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity in atrazine-tolerant crops such as maize and grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), or in atrazine-tolerant weeds such as Panicum spp. In previous …

A proteomic and cytological characterisation of the buff-tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) fat body and haemolymph -An immune perspective
… The FB proteome is highly enriched in metabolic, detoxification and proteostasis processes whereas the haemolymph is enriched in cellular transport and immunity. At a cellular level the FB was shown to predominantly comprise adipocytes and oenocytes, while spherulocytes, oenocytoids and …

Functional characterization and expression of molluscan detoxification enzymes and transporters involved in dietary allelochemical resistance
… tissues. While several allelochemical-responsive detoxification enzymes have been sequenced and functionally characterized in terrestrial invertebrates feeding on chemically defended host plants, there is virtually no information concerning the role of these biotransformation enzymes that may …

Biochemical and Molecular Assessment of Toxicity of Primaquine Metabolites on Erythrocytes
… toxicity. NQO2, has a potential function in metabolic detoxification or activation of quinones and quinone-based drugs. Co-treatment of erythrocytes with NQO2 inhibitors potentiated the hemotoxic response of PQ metabolites. The computational docking studies suggested stronger interactions of …

Toxicity of mycotoxins to insects and underlying molecular and biochemical mechanisms
… P450 monooxygenases (P450s) are critical in detoxification and activation of mycotoxins. In this study, I found that midgut homogenates isolated from H. zea larvae consuming diets supplemented with phytochemicals (coumarin and xanthotoxin) showed significant AFB1 disappearance and generated …
