Industrial agriculture results in environmental burdens due to the overuse of fertilizers and pesticides. Fungicides is a class pesticides whose application contributes (among others) human toxicity ecotoxicity. The European Union aims increase organic agriculture. For this reason, work analyze climate change, freshwater ecotoxicity, terrestrial toxicity, (terrestrial) acidification, eutrophica...

teucrium polium l. (tp) is widely used in traditional medicine of many countries including iran. there are various reports about pharmacological properties of tp such as calcium antagonist, anti- ulcer, anti – diabetic. there are a few reports about possible toxicological effects of this plant. in the present study we designed to evaluate the subchronic toxicity of teucrium polium total extract...

objective(s) ocimum basilicum l. is widely used in folk medicine of many countries including iran. both o. basilicum and its oil extract have received considerable attention for their potential medicinal properties, but there are a few reports about possible toxicity of this plant. therefore, in the present study, acute and subchronic toxicity of o. basilicum hydroalcohlic extract have been eva...

Background: Magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles are currently one of the important and acceptable magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications. To use magnetite nanoparticles for bacteria cell separation, the surface of nanoparticles would be modified for immobilizing of nanoparticles on the surface of bacteria. Functionalization of magnetite nanoparticles is performed by different s...

Background: Endosulfan, an organochlorine compound, and fipronil, a phenylpyrazole, are insecticides with a common mechanism of toxicity. They interfere with Clinflux by binding to the gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAAR) and blocking the inhibitory actions of GABAA. In vivo they cause neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, developmental toxicity, and can alter endocrine and immune systems. The th...

During ecological speciation, diverging taxa have the potential to remain in close spatial proximity (i.e., sympatry or micro-allopatry) theoretically allowing for continued contact and gene flow. In a system where incipient speciation of populations of the Atlantic molly (Poecilia mexicana) appears to be driven by abiotic factors, we investigated whether one of these factors, hydrogen sulphide...

The aim of this research was to determine the chemical constituents and bioactivity of the essential oil derived from Alpinia galanga (L.) Willd. rhizomes against the cigarette beetle Lasioderma serricorne (F.) (Coleoptera Anobiidae) adults. The essential oil of A. galanga obtained by hydrodistillation was investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The main components of the ...
