Dithianon exposure induces dopaminergic neurotoxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2023 Mar 14;255:114752. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.114752. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDithianon is a conventional broad-spectrum protectant fungicide widely used in agriculture, but its potential neurotoxic risk to animals remains largely unknown. In this study, neurotoxic effects of Dithianon and its underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms were investigated using the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, as a model system. Upon chronic exposure ... read more
