Unraveling the acute sublethal effects of acetamiprid on honey bee neurological redox equilibrium.

ABSTRACT: Understanding the off-target effects of neonicotinoid insecticides, including acetamiprid, which is the most commonly applied agricultural chemical, is crucial as it may be an important factor of negative impact on pollinator insects causing a number of problems such as colony collapse disorder (CCD) of honey bees. While CCD is known as a multifactorial disease, the role of pesticides in this context is not negligible. Therefore, it is essential to gain a deeper comprehension of the mechanisms through which they function. The aim of this research was to study the effects of sublethal acetamiprid doses on honey bees, specifically focusing on the redox homeostasis of the brain. According to our findings, it can be confirmed that acetamiprid detrimentally impacts the redox balance of the brai
