Udk 619:638.17 Antigenotoxic Effects of Royal Jelly in the Sex Linked Recessive Lethal Test with Drosophila Melanogaster
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The antitoxic and antimutagenic effect of royal jelly was assayed by a standard testing procedure on Drosophila melanogaster. The similarity of metabolic pathways between Drosophila and mammals makes the test widely applicable for detecting the impact of various potential promutagens and antimutagenic effects could be recognized accordingly. The flies were treated with the potent mutagen MMS, alone and combined with royal jelly. The frequency of sterile males and sex linked recessive lethal mutations increased significantly after MMS treatment and decreased after combined treatment. The results strongly indicate that, in addition to its well documented action on development, life-span and reproductive ability, royal jelly has an antimutagenic potential as well.

P-86: Protective Effect of Vitamin C and Royal Jelly on Sex Hormones on Phenylhydrazine Treated Adult Male Mice
Background: Phenylhydrazine (PHZ) is used to induce experimental anemia in animal models. On the other hand royal jelly is known as antioxidant compound. Therefore, here in present study we aimed to evaluate the protective effect of royal jelly on PHZ-induced damages in testicular tissue and compare its impact with vitamin C. Materials and Methods: Eighteen mature male mice were randomly divide...

Chemical components of the acetone and watery extract of Ambrosia artemisiifolia (LINNAEUS, 1753) plant, and the two identified lactones in the acetone extract: the ambrosin and dihydroambrosin, was tested for genotoxicity activities. The genotoxicity of the extract was tested on the eukaryotic model system Drosophila melanogaster using the sex-linked recessive lethal test (SLRL test). The resu...

Background: Flubendiamide, comparatively a new pesticide designed to eradicate lepidopteran insect pests is known to have low risk to birds, mammals, fish, algae, honey bees, non-target arthropods, earthworms, soil macro- and micro-organisms, non-target plants as well as sewage treatment organisms; however, the risk assessment for aquatic invertebrates from metabolite could not be finalized wit...
متن کاملThe Drosophila melanogaster sir2+ gene is nonessential and has only minor effects on position-effect variegation.
Five Drosophila melanogaster genes belong to the highly conserved sir2 family, which encodes NAD(+)-dependent protein deacetylases. Of these five, dsir2(+) (CG5216) is most similar to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae SIR2 gene, which has profound effects on chromatin structure and life span. Four independent Drosophila strains were found with P-element insertions near the dsir2 transcriptional star...
متن کاملEvidence for the absence of mutagenic activity of furfuryl alcohol in tests of germ cells in Drosophila melanogaster.
Furfuryl alcohol was evaluated for mutagenic activity in D. melanogaster by means of the sex-linked recessive lethal test and the sex-chromosome loss test. Brooding was employed in order to test different stages of spermatogenesis. No evidence was found of a mutagenic effect after adult injection and larval feeding.
