Curcumin and Quercetin Ameliorates Reserpine-Induced Neurotoxicity in Drosophila melanogaster Models

Reserpine has reportedly been used to induce neurotoxicity in animal models, including Drosophila melanogaster, and has been reported to cause oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation, while Curcumin and quercetin have demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Survival Rate, Total Antioxidant Capacity and Malondialdehyde in Drosophila melanogaster Exposed to Bronze Borne Soil Samples in Benin City, South-South Nigeria

Drosophila melanogaster serves as an important research model organism in the fields of genetics and developmental biology. Recent studies have indicated the use of Drosophila in a number of other studies such as metabolic, nanotoxicological and immunological studies. Rearing of fly in the laboratory condition is an important task to work with this organism. To maintain the growth and development of the flies where the components of the food play important roles, this is done by mixing the compounds with fly food in proper concentration.
