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 hei...

Introduction: Pain research using animal models is related to ethical concerns, so invertebrates and insects have been recommended by researchers. In the present study, the nociceptive and antinociceptive effects of capsaicin, aspirin, morphine and chili extract were examined using fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) as an alternative for rodent pain model. Methods: Stage 3 of larvae and ad...

Impact of Phyllanthus amarus extract on antioxidant enzymes in Drosophila melanogaster N. Manasa, J. S. Ashadevi

objective: previous studies, focusing on the effects of abused drugs, have used mice or rats as the main animal models; the present study tries to introduce a simple animal model. for this propose, we investigated the effects of oral morphine consumption by parents on the development of larvae, pupae and imago in drosophila melanogaster (d. melanogaster). materials and methods: in this experime...

Asparagus racemosus extract increases the life span in Drosophila melanogaster K. V. Kiran Kumar, S. Prasanna, J. Ashadevi

The recombinant antibodies RB712 and RB713 detect by ELISA the Drosophila melanogaster Spargel protein (or GCH) fused to a GST protein.


 The recombinant antibodies RB690, RB691, RB692 and RB693 detect by ELISA a synthetic peptide from the Drosophila melanogaster Nop56 protein.
