Effects of Lead Exposure on the Expression Level of Antioxidant Genes and the Reproductive Development Related Genes and Activity of Antioxidant Enzymes in Tissues of Bombyx Mori
Bombyx mori is the model insect of lepioloptera and it is a widely used experimental animals. Research on heavy metals like lead on mamals (such as human and mouse )and aquatic organisms is common, but relatively little in invertebrates. Research on the insect was less. In our experiment, we used Pb(NO3)2 as the resource of Pb~(2+) to treat Bombyx mori during the whole laval stage. We investgested the accumulation of Pb~(2+) in tissues of silkworm, the basic physical and reproductive development-related ind...
