| Abstract |
The effects of different concentrations of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) (2, 10, 20, 100, 200, and 2000 ng/g dry food weight) on the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and concentration of heat-shock protein 70 (hsp70) in fifth instar Lymantria dispar brain tissue were investigated. Inhibition of AChE is a general effect biomarker at the individual level. We observed the most efficient inhibition of this enzyme at medium and high BaP concentrations (20, 100, 200, and 2000 ng/g dry food weight). Western blot analysis revealed the presence of two hsp 70 isoforms, with changed amounts depending on the BaP concentration. A fluctuating response in hsp70 concentration to ingested BaP was observed: with decreased levels in the groups fed 2 and 100 ng BaP/g dry food weight, but increased concentrations in the groups given 10 and 2000 ng/g dry food weight. Even though we detected changes in AChE activity and hsp70 concentration in L. dispar brain tissue upon exposure to different BaP concentrations, we cannot characterize them as sensitive and reliable biomarkers for this xenobiotic in L. dispar caterpillars. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 August 2017.
All research outputs
#21,420,714
of 23,911,072 outputs
Outputs from Environmental Science and Pollution Research
#7,000
of 9,883 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#281,206
of 320,704 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Environmental Science and Pollution Research
#167
of 219 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,911,072 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 9,883 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.7. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 320,704 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 219 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
