Multi-target disruption of cuticular lipid homeostasis and cellular immunity by 2,6-dimethylphenol in the blowfly Lucilia sericata.
It is demonstrated that disruption of lipid homeostasis contributes to the physiological and immunotoxic effects of 2,6-DMP in L. sericata, raising concerns about the potential ecotoxicological impact of 2,6-DMP as an environmental contaminant, and identifying lipid homeostasis as a sensitive mechanistic endpoint for e...
