Abstract:The polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) formed during combustion processes and as by-products of industrial processes are persistent organic pollutants. In the present study, the PCDDs of 2,3,7,8-TCDD, 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD, 1,2,3,7,8,9-HXCDD and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-OCDD (1, 2.5, 5 and 10µg/mL medium) were evaluated for their possible toxicity on the survival rate of Drosophila melanogaster, in vivo. The effects of different concentrations of dioxins were separately administered to female and male populations of D… Show more
The pumpkin seed membrane (PSM), which is high in water retention in the study, was recycled as waste, intended to be used in terms of target-non-target creatures and to determine its effect on resistance formation. Nowadays, when fat intake is steadily increasing through nutrition, increased use of fat makes an individual vulnerable to stress. The study determined the effect of additional taken waste/nutrients on oxidative stress in obese individuals. The fatty diet and pumpkin seed effect were trialed in the model organism in the study. The amount of Malondialdehyde (MDA) and total oxidation (TOS) and total antioxidant effect (TAS) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity in larvae, pupae, and adult of Drosophila melanogaster were calculated by adding different proportions of PSM (0.05-2 g) and fat (20%) to the diet. According to the data obtained: It was determined that the period with the highest oxidative stress index (OSI) is the pupae (pupae> larvae> female> male), the amount of lipid peroxidation (MDA) is higher in females, moreover, the third larvae is the most resistant stage. The results have shown that waste of seed mambrane can't be useful in vivo as a nutrient due to usage limitation.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
