Mutagenicity of nickel sulphate in Drosophila melanogaster.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nickel sulphate was injected into Drosophila melanogaster males at different concentrations in order to test the chemical for the induction of SLRL and SCL in germ cells. Nickel sulphate induced SLRL at concentrations tested, with the peak of activity at premeiotic and postmeiotic stages. It failed to produce SCL except at the highest concentration tested, where induction of XO males was significant for the pooled data.

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...

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...
