Effects of two broad-spectrum systemic insecticides, fipronil and imidacloprid, on honeybees was highlighted in a new research published in iEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry/i. These insecticides are widely used in agriculture, and the authors conclude that fipronil and imidacloprid are inhibitors of mitochondrial bioenergetics, resulting in depleted cell energy. This action can explain the toxicity of these compounds for honeybees. Scientists are urgently ...Thursday 7 August 2014
Honeybee Mitochondrial Activity Reduced With Fipronil and Imidacloprid
Effects of two broad-spectrum systemic insecticides, fipronil and imidacloprid, on honeybees was highlighted in a new research published in iEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry/i. These insecticides are widely used in agriculture, and the authors conclude that fipronil and imidacloprid are inhibitors of mitochondrial bioenergetics, resulting in depleted cell energy.
