Abstract :The study presented here aims to elucidate the effects of emodin insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(EO = 1,3,8-trihydroxy-6-methylanthraquinone); in its free form and when loaded into a mesoporous silica nanocarrier SBA-15 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(→ SBA-15|EO); on the activities of the main antioxidative enzymes, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione S-transferase, and glutathione reductase, in larvae of a polyphagous insect pest, the browntail moth Euproctis chrysorrhoea insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(L.);. The results show that only SBA-15|EO upregulates the activities of the tested antioxidative enzymes. These results point to significant differences in the effectiveness of the compound in the free versus the loaded form.
