...tissues, including head, midgut, hemolymph, fat body, testis and ovary. More importantly, the relatively high expression level of BmARM-like mRNA were observed in BC9 (near-isogenic line) following BmNPV infection as compared to P50 (susceptible strain), which was further validated in the midgut of A35 (resistant strain). The expression levels of BmARM-like protein showed similar trends with transcriptional levels in ...

...n the gill, foregut, and midgut in the air-exposed group were much lower than in the control group. After recovery for 1 d, CAT activity in the gill and middle gut increased rapidly and was higher than in the inhibited and control groups. The SOD activity in the gill and gut also significantly increased, although there was no significant difference between the air-exposed and control groups. After a 3 d recovery, CAT and SOD activity in the gill and gut of ...

...nge in the percentage of midgut mass relative to larval mass (PMM) and determine the plasticity of this trait and the correlations between midgut enzymes and PMM under stress conditions. Fourth-instar larvae were exposed to acute and chronic effects of two cadmium concentrations, 10 and 30 μg Cd/g dry food, as well as a three-day recovery from chronic treatments. PMM is also an indirect indicator of food consumption and w...

Columnar cells, goblet cells and regenerated cells loose their identity and become disorganized, also breaking down of peritrophic membrane and basement membrane and red colour appeared due to presence of granules particles. The morphological structures of P. operculella infected larvae with granulosis virus as well as healthy ones were examined by SEM. It showed com...

... 24 h post exposure. The midgut sections of treated larvae showed morphological alterations such as microvilli damage, loss of nuclei, and peritrophic membrane degeneration. The extract also showed high cytotoxic activity against HUV-EC cells, with an LC50 of 19.8 µg/mL. The results indicated that G. mangostana has larvicidal activity against Cx. pipiens larvae. Further investigation can be done to confirm the larvicidal potential of this plant against d...

...tributed to the foregut, midgut, and hindgut with the aid of the microorganisms that thrive in this region. However, knowledge and studies on bacterial communities across the GIT are very limited. Most researches only focus on the rumen or the hindgut. Therefore, this study was performed to evaluate the bacterial microbiota in three gut regions (foregut: the rumen, reticulum, omasum, abomasum; midgut: duodenum, jejunum, ileu...

... supply of the NBM), the midgut of each mosquito was dissected. A test of the E. coli colony-forming units (CFUs) was performed for all groups. The metabolites were detected using mass spectrometry (MS). The results revealed significant (p<0.05) increases in the E. coli CFUs of the NNBM group when compared with those from the SW group. These levels decreased significantly (p<0.05) in all groups, especially in the 0T group. In the case of the metabolic ac...
