Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNon-Target Inhibition of Antioxidant Enzymes in Honey Bees (A. mellifera and A. florea) Upon Pesticide ExposureAmal Ahmed Berjawi, Syed Salman Ashraf, Mohammad Ali Al-DeebUnderstanding how different insecticides influence bee health is very essential. The aim of this work was to evaluate enzyme kinetics and inhibition by insecticides in Apis mellifera and Apis florea. Tested enzymes showed variable affinity to substrates. In A. florea, glutathione S-transferase (GST) showed significantly higher affinity for its 1-Chloro-2,4-Dinitrobenzene (CDNB) substrate than in A. mellifera. Carbosulfan caused the highest … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 10 Apr 2020 · 7,394 accessesView PDF Cite
