Studies on the toxicity of glyphosate and the effect of spermidine in conferring resistance to induced toxicity in Drosophila melanogaster
Studies on the effect of sperminide in conferring resistance to glyphosate induced toxicity in Drosophila melanogaster with possible links to neurodegenerative diseases.
Abstract:
In this study Drosophila melanogaster is used as a model system to study the toxicological effect of pure glyphosate. Furthermore, the ability of spermidine to confer resistance against the glyphosate-induced toxicity was also studied. Important physiological parameters were tested employing fecundity assay, lifespan measurements, and negative geotaxis assay. Protein carbonyl assay was employed in …moreAbstract:
