Hormesis is a widely used in toxicology to describe the biphasic dose-response curve, where exposure to chemical or physical stress induces a stimulatory or inhibitory response dose-dependent. This phenomenon is typically described by a nonlinear dose-response where exposure to low levels of stress induces a stimulatory effect while high levels of exposure cause inhibition or toxicity. Two reparameterized logistic-logarithmic models were used to describe deltamethrin dose-response in Sitophilus zeamais, two insecticide-resistant strains and one insecticide-susceptible strain. Moreover, the profile of protein expression was examined in three populations. The biphasic dose-response was observed in three tested strains. It was observed several changes in protein profiling expression. In insecticide-resistant strains prevailed up-regulation protein expression (increase in spot volume) while in the insecticide-susceptible strain was observed down-regulation expression in most spots. This reduction may be due to a more extend refractory period and consequently greater delay in restoring the homeostatic state in the insecticide-susceptible strain. Few spots were identified as the expression of new proteins in the three strains. The Jacarezinho strain showed the largest number of protein spots, were six spots in the Jacarezinho strain, one spot in the Juiz de For a strain and no spot in the Sete Lagoas susceptible strain. This wide variation reflects the difficulty of relating the molecular events with the responses obtained in the dose-response curves. Although the biological responses can be observed with relative difficulty, the myriad of molecular events in response to changes in the environment make it extremely difficult to identify the mechanistic events involved in the stress response. The change in the profile of protein expression between populations reflects the difficulty in understanding the mechanisms involved in the hormesis. The exposure to even moderate doses of stress induces many changes in the profiling protein expression. In a next step the identification of differentially expressed proteins would be of great importance to check whether groups of common proteins among populations are affected. Besides the greater magnitude in population growth, moderate doses of deltamethrin resistant populations have a higher profile changes in protein expression and this behavior seems to be dependent on life history parameters.
