Summary: Black and red rice are rich in flavonoids, with higher levels of anthocyanins in black rice and higher levels of catechins in red rice. The antioxidant capacity of black and red rice is significantly higher than that of white rice, with white rice deriving its antioxidant capacity mainly from quercetin and trifolin.

Summary: This study revealed the toxic characteristics of DEHP in Gammarus pulex by examining biochemical and histopathological changes. Changes in SOD, CAT, and GST activities were identified as potential sensitive biomarkers for environmental risk assessment, and increased immunoreactivity in G. pulex due to DEHP exposure was observed.

Summary: Catechin and quercetin were studied under different oxidative conditions using various reagents and electrochemical and photocatalytic conditions. The formation of a dimer resulting from an oxa-Diels-Alder reaction was systematically observed in quercetin. Dehydrodicatechin A was obtained from catechin by the action of silver oxide. Complementary experiments with catechol provided information on the reaction mechanisms. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the role of catechols in the formation of natural compounds from the dimerization of flavonoids during oxidative processes.

Summary: Coral aquaculture is threatened by ciliate infestation, which can cause coral death within 72 hours. Research on the treatment of coral ciliate disease is lacking. Forsythia suspensa, a traditional Chinese medicine, was tested for its therapeutic effects on Goniopora columna and found to effectively treat ciliate infection without causing stress response in corals.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between chlorpyrifos exposure and antioxidant enzyme activities. It finds that chlorpyrifos has a negative impact on the activity of antioxidant enzymes in tissues and a positive correlation with lipid peroxidation. The study recommends conducting proper ecotoxicological risk assessments when using chlorpyrifos as a pesticide.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the combined treatment of quercetin with Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) has significant negative effects on the growth and survival of silkworms. The combined treatment inhibits the activities of protective enzymes in silkworms, leading to oxidative damage, affecting the immune response, and resulting in abnormal growth. The accumulation of quercetin increases the susceptibility of silkworms to pathogens.

Summary: This study evaluated the differential responses of two rice genotypes, tolerant (Pooja) and moderately sensitive (CO-50), to arsenic stress with or without thiourea application. It was found that thiourea could reduce arsenic toxicity and accumulation in rice, leading to enhanced plant growth compared to arsenic treatment alone. The results suggest that thiourea application is a sustainable and feasible approach to mitigate arsenic stress in rice cultivation.
