Sublethal acetamiprid exposure induces immunity, suppresses pathways linked to juvenile hormone synthesis in queens and affects cycle-related signaling in emerging bees
Environ Pollut. 2024 Mar 29:123901. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123901. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcetamiprid is the only neonicotinoid registered in the European Union because the risks of neonicotinoids to honey bees and other pollinators are strictly regulated. Herein, we orally exposed honey bee colonies to sublethal concentrations of acetamiprid (20 μg/L) under isolated conditions. After one month of continuous exposure, the emerging bees and queens were collected and analyzed via high-throughput label-free quantitative proteomics using a data-independent acquisition strategy. Six and 34 significantly differential...

Oxygen-deficient FeNbO4-x In-situ Growth in Honey-derived N-doping Porous Carbon for Overall Water Splitting
ChemSusChem. 2024 Mar 31:e202400162. doi: 10.1002/cssc.202400162. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIt is still a great challenge to reasonably design green, low cost, high activity and good stability catalysts for overall water splitting (OWS). Here, we introduce a novel catalyst with ferric niobate (FeNbO4) in-situ growing in honey-derived porous carbon of high specific surface area, and its catalytic activity is further enhanced by micro-regulation (oxygen vacancy and N-doping). From the experimental results and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the oxygen vacancy in catalyst FeNbO4-x@NC regulates the local char...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSince ancient times, honey has been used for medical purposes and the treatment of various disorders. As a high-quality food product, the honey industry is prone to fraud and adulteration. Moreover, limited experimental studies have investigated the impact of adulterated honey consumption using zebrafish as the animal model. The aims of this study were: (1) to calculate the lethal concentration (LC50) of acid-adulterated Apis mellifera honey on embryos, (2) to investigate the effect of pure and acid-adulterated A. mellife...

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Oxidative Stress. Natural Treatments
Curr Med Chem. 2024 Feb 16. doi: 10.2174/0109298673270372231130071320. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most frequent endocrinopathology affecting women in their reproductive ages. However, PCOS is also related to metabolic abnormalities such as metabolic syndrome (MS), insulin resistance (IR), and type 2 diabetes, among others. Consequently, an inflammatory and pro-oxidative status is also present in these patients, aggravating the syndrome's symptoms. This work aims to discuss some late treatments that focus on oxidative stress (OS) as a central feature related to primary PCOS ...

A nanozyme with switchable enzyme-like activity for the logic gates detection of thymol and hydrogen peroxide in honey
Talanta. 2024 Mar 27;274:125951. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.125951. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA new nanozyme (CuGaa) with switchable enzyme-like activity of peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase was successfully prepared based on guanidinoacetic acid and copper. The two enzyme-like activities can be easily switched by changing temperature or adding MnCl2. At 4 °C, polyphenol oxidase-like activity decreased to nearly 1%, and the material is mainly characterized by peroxidase-like activity at this point. However, at 60 °C in the presence of 20 mM MnCl2, the peroxidase-like activity decreased to nearly 10%, and the polyphe...
