PFBS and PFHxS affect lipid metabolism in F1.; "PFBS significantly up-regulated the expressions of
daf-2,
daf-16,
pod-2 that regulate fat synthesis in wild type nematodes (Fig. 2c). It also significantly down-regulatedfat-5 that encodes delta-9 desaturases in regulation of unsaturated fatty acids (Brock et al., 2006). Such results showed that PFBS significantly disturbed the lipid metabolism."
