Valeriana officinalis attenuates the rotenone-induced toxicity in Drosophila melanogaster.
In this study, we investigated the potential protective effects of Valeriana officinalis (V. officinalis) against the toxicity induced by rotenone in Drosophila melanogaster (D. melanogaster). Adult wild-type flies were concomitantly exposed to rotenone (500 μM) and V. officinalis aqueous extract (10mg/mL) in the food during 7 days. Rotenone-fed flies had a worse performance in the negative geo...
متن کاملAconitase and Developmental EndPointsasEarly IndicatorsofCellularToxicity Induced by Xenobiotics in Drosophila Melanogaster
Background: In this study, the toxicity of the different xenobiotics was tested on the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster model system. Methods: Fly larvae were raised on food supplemented with xenobioticsat different concentrations (sodium nitroprusside (0.1-1.5 mM), S-nitrosoglutathione (0.5-4 mM), and potassium ferrocyanide (1 mM)). Emergence of flies, food intake by larvae, and pupation h...
متن کاملCardiovascular baroreflex sensitivity attenuates by cisplatin-induced toxicity in rats
Introduction: Cisplatin (CP) therapy may disturb cardiovascular system control. The objective of this study was to find baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) in CP-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Materials and Methods: Eighteen male and female Wistar rats were randomly assigned to two groups treated with CP (2.5 mg/kg/day) and the vehicle, for five consecutive days, and then were subjected to surgical ...

most abundant corresponding to approximately 9% of the drosophilids collected in Tandil. This is probably a species originally from the Argentinean Chaco which was distributed by humans – together with its host Opuntia ficus-indica – to many parts of the world (Tidon-Sklorz and Sene, 1999). Although this is still a preliminary study of the drosophilid fauna in Tandil, the diversity of the sampl...
متن کاملEffects of Valeriana Officinalis Extract on the Seizure Induced by Picrotoxin in Mice
Neurological effects of Valeriana officinalis have been recognized for many years. In this study, the anticonvulsant activity of methanolic extract of the plant were investigated in mice. Picrotoxin with doses of 6 and 12.5 mg/kg were used for induction of seizures. The effects of different doses of methanolic extract of the plant on the variation of beginning time of seizures, the incidence of...
