Physiological effects of L-theanine on Drosophila melanogaster.
Green tea has been consumed as the most popular drink in East Asia for centuries, and is believed to have a wide range of health benefits. L-Theanine, the major component of the free amino acids in green tea, has been reported to display neuronal protection and tumor inhibition in vitro, but its physiological effects on animal development and behavior remain elusive. In this report, we used Dro...
متن کاملL-Theanine reduces psychological and physiological stress responses.
L-Theanine is an amino acid contained in green tea leaves which is known to block the binding of L-glutamic acid to glutamate receptors in the brain. Because the characteristics of L-Theanine suggest that it may influence psychological and physiological states under stress, the present study examined these possible effects in a laboratory setting using a mental arithmetic task as an acute stres...
متن کاملPhenotypic and Genetic Effects of Contrasting Ethanol Environments on Physiological and Developmental Traits in Drosophila melanogaster
A central problem in evolutionary physiology is to understand the relationship between energy metabolism and fitness-related traits. Most attempts to do so have been based on phenotypic correlations that are not informative for the evolutionary potential of natural populations. Here, we explored the effect of contrasting ethanol environments on physiological and developmental traits, their gene...
متن کاملThe physiological and behavioral effects of carbon dioxide on Drosophila melanogaster larvae.
Adult and larval insects are rapidly anesthetized by carbon dioxide (CO2); however, the mechanisms have not been addressed. In this study, we use larval Drosophila to investigate the actions of CO2 to explain the behavioral effects of rapid immobilization and cardiac arrest with acute exposure to CO2. To determine if the central nervous system (CNS) is required, studies were performed with and ...
متن کاملEnvironmental Effects on Remating in Drosophila Melanogaster.
The effects of density and food on remating were investigated using Drosophila melanogaster. The frequency of remating was unaffected by density for some combinations of fly strains but was reduced at low relative densities for other combinations. Until females had used most of their stored sperm, remating was less likely when food was absent or contact with food was prevented. Food availabilit...
