PURPOSE Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR's) are lipid sensors and when activated they modify gene expression of proteins regulating fatty acid (FA) metabolism in liver cells. The aim of the present study was to examine the in vivo effects of PPAR alpha and gamma activation combined with high fat diet (HFD) feeding on the lipid content and FA profile in the liver. MATERIAL/MET...

t-2 toxin, a trichothecene mycotoxin, is considered to be one of the most toxic compounds that are produced by molds, particularly the fusarium species. fusarium species have been recognized as a great agricultural problem. they occur worldwide on a variety of plant hosts and cereal grains. the aim of this study was to investigate t-2 toxin-induced liver injury using in situ perfused rat liver....

the colorado potato beetle (cpb) is the most important pest of potato. adults and larvae feeding on potato leaves cause economically damage to host. since this pest overwinters as adults in soil, any disturbance in assimilation and storage of the energy resources may weaken the overwintering adults and lessen their resistance to environmental stresses during the winter. in this research, effect...
