Pyriproxyfen, villain or good guy? A brief review by Andressa Pereira Cabral, Fabrício Pereira dos Santos Maia, D’Angelo Carlo Magliano, Jones Bernardes Graceli, Paula Soares, Eduardo Andrés Rios Morris, Leandro Miranda-Alves

“…ABSTRACT Pyriproxyfen (PPF) acts as a juvenile growth regulator, interfering with normal metamorphosis and blocking the development of insects into adulthood. Although the World Health Organization (WHO) considers the use of PPF at a concentration of 0.01 mg/L as unlikely to pose health risks, recent studies have unveiled potential risks associated with PPF exposure to non-target organisms. …”

Early-life enrichment in American mink (Neogale vison): Effects of juvenile physical enrichment on behaviour, temperament, and long-term stereotypic behaviour by Gabrielle B. Clark, María Díez-León, Rebecca K. Meagher

“…Here, a group of enriched kits (EK) were provided with multiple enrichments that were periodically exchanged to renew novelty from 4–15 weeks of age, earlier than typical enrichment provision on farms, after which they were housed with a single standard enrichment into adulthood. The effects of EK enrichment on kit behaviours and long-term stereotypic behaviour were compared to that of two groups reared with a single standard enrichment (standard housed; SH and enriched at whelping; EW). …”

The gut-liver axis mechanism of increased susceptibility to non-alcoholic fatty disease in female offspring rats with prenatal caffeine exposure by Qian Wang, Xiaoqian Lu, Wen Hu, Cong Zhang, Kexin Liu, Kai Tong, Kaiqi Chen, Hui Wang

“…The results showed that the gut microbiota of PCE female offspring at multiple time points from infancy to adolescence were significantly changed with depletion of butyric acid-producing bacteria, leading to a decrease in butyric acid in adulthood. It was also found that PCE female offspring rats were sensitive to NAFLD induced by a postnatal high-fat diet (HFD), which is mainly related to the enhancement of hepatic triglyceride synthesis function. …”
