Summary: The study found that low concentrations of methomyl did not significantly affect the sex steroid hormone levels in male tilapia, with 2 μg/L identified as a preliminary threshold for non-effective doses. However, high concentrations of methomyl significantly inhibited sex steroid hormone levels and caused irreversible damage when equal to or greater than 200 μg/L, indicating a dose-dependent relationship.

Summary: The study found that lower concentrations of methomyl had no effect on antioxidant levels in the testis of Nile tilapia, while higher concentrations significantly influenced these antioxidants. Recovery tests showed that oxidative damage caused by lower concentrations of methomyl was reversible, whereas damage from higher concentrations was irreversible within 18 days.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of Aspergillus oryzae (ASP) in mitigating the harmful influences of salinity stress on Nile tilapia juveniles. Findings showed that ASP supplementation improved haemato-biochemical measurements, immunity, antioxidative capacity, and transcriptomic responses in fish exposed to different salinity levels. The results supported the potential efficacy of dietary supplementation with ASP in alleviating salinity stress-induced alterations in Nile tilapia.

Summary: Methomyl is a pesticide that can have toxic effects on aquatic ecosystems. This study found that planting mint can alleviate the impact of methomyl on the antioxidant system of Nile tilapia, shape the intestinal microbiota, and strengthen the connection between water quality and metabolic parameters.

Summary: A two-month feeding trial showed that dietary supplementation of chia seed powder improved the growth performance, blood parameters, and antioxidant levels of Nile tilapia under cold stress. Additionally, it reduced the levels of stress-related indicators such as cortisol. Therefore, the inclusion of chia seed powder in fish diets can enhance their tolerance to cold thermal stress.

Summary: This study investigated the use of blood glucose as a selection criterion to enhance the adaptation of fish to the farming environment. The study found that blood glucose has sufficient genetic variability and is positively correlated with live weight, making it a suitable indicator for selecting fish. Additionally, the fish with high Estimated Breeding Value (EBV) for blood glucose demonstrated better adaptation to handling stress.

Summary: Limited literature has analyzed the outcome of human poisoning with methomyl and cypermethrin pesticide mixture. A study conducted at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital from 2002 to 2018 found that patients with methomyl and cypermethrin poisoning had higher rates of acute respiratory failure, aspiration pneumonia, acute kidney injury, and multiple organ failure compared to other groups. Further research is needed to better understand the toxicity of methomyl and cypermethrin pesticide mixture poisoning.

Summary: Aging is associated with decreased muscle strength and increased reactive oxygen species. This cross-sectional study found that serum levels of alpha-carotene were positively associated with muscle strength in older adults, while other antioxidants were not. This suggests that alpha-carotene may have a beneficial effect on muscle strength in aging individuals.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of the herbicide Harness((R)) on the oxidative stress and reproductive and thyroid performance of tilapia. Results showed that lycopene supplementation alleviated the adverse effects of Harness((R)) by reducing oxidative stress and improving the histological structure of gonadal and thyroid tissues.

Summary: Green technologies and smart solvents are gaining attention for their ability to reduce the hazardous impact of toxic chemicals used in conventional extraction techniques. These techniques can decrease extraction time, increase yield, and are environmentally friendly. Combining green technologies and solvents can enhance the extraction of bioactive compounds. Scaling up these combinations from the laboratory to industrial scale can be cost-effective and improve purity. Implementing these environmentally friendly techniques can also alleviate environmental pollution and promote sustainability.

Summary: Methomyl (MET), a widely used carbamate pesticide, can be effectively degraded using peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based advanced oxidation processes. Different systems, such as PMS-Only, pyrite (PyR)-PMS and zero-valent iron (ZVI)-PMS, showed varying levels of MET degradation, with singlet oxygen (O-1(2)) playing a major role. The PMS-Only system demonstrated efficient degradation across a wide range of conditions and showed promising results in real water samples.
