Effect of ligation of Drosophila larvae on tumor incidence.
نویسنده
چکیده
Previous work (1) has shown that the introduc tion of the 1(5@)gl gene, which causes the ring gland to be defective, into a tumor strain of Drosophila results in an increase in the number of tumors in comparison with siblings with normal ring glands. This suggests that the hormone responsible for metamorphosis may account for the usual regres sion of these tumors. Ligation also delays pupation and has been used as additional means for study ing this inhibition of growth. If hormones in Drosophila are effective in influencing the growth of these tumors, then further studies on isolating

Concentration dependent effect of morphine, aspirin, capsaicin and chili pepper hydro alcoholic extract on thermal and chemical pain model in fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster)
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...

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 کاملSIMPLE LIGATION VERSUS STUMP INVAGINATION DURING APPENDICECTOMY-A PROSPECTIVE TRIAL
A prospective, randomized trial on 416 consecutive cases of appendicectomies was carried out in which half of the cases had simple ligation of the stump and the rest had invagination of the stump in addition. The two groups were matched for age, sex, state of personal hygiene and nutrition. The incidence of wound infection, and early and late post-operative complications remained comparabl...
متن کاملThe Inheritance of Tumors in Drosophila Melanogaster, with Especial Reference to an Isogenic Strain of St Sr Tumor 36a.
TUDIES of the way in which tumors are inherited in Drosophila S melanogaster should be particularly valuable because the very extensive background of genetic knowledge and technique available for this species makes possible a more thorough analysis than could be made in any of the forms, such as mammals, usually employed in cancer research. A number of papers appeared relatively early in Drosop...
