TL;DR: In this article, the potential environmental impacts of food-waste bioconversion into compost and dried larvae through the action of Hermetia illucens, by applying Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), were assessed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the metabolic responses of transplanted mussels to environmental pollution were assessed using 1H NMR spectroscopy and multivariate statistics, showing changes in metabolites involved in energy metabolism.

TL;DR: In mussels from the polluted site, severe morphological alterations were observed in gills, mainly involved in nutrient uptake and gas exchange, and onset of hypoxic adaptive responses with up-regulation of hypoxia-inducible factor transcript was highlighted.

TL;DR: Although male bluefin tuna appeared to be more sensitive than females to the adverse effects of environmental obesogens, the alterations observed in tuna liver of both sexes suggest a potential onset of hepatic steatosis.

TL;DR: Alterations in serotoninergic and cholinergic systems were revealed, with enhancement of dopaminergic neurotransmission resulting in a cilio-inhibitory effect, but the over-expression in 5-HT3R and ChAT at cellular level may indicate an adaptive response of mussels to recover a regular physiological activity in gills.
