Research Article Chlorpyrifos-induced dopaminergic damage in <i>Drosophila</i> <i>melanogaster</i> assessed by gene expression, AChE assay, and negative geotaxis using a new feeding device
Abstract:We developed a new and simple feeding device for Drosophila melanogaster. In addition, we tested three negative geotaxis methods (measuring the percentage of the flies able to climb 8 cm in 8 s, measuring the distance climbed in 3 s, and measuring the distance climbed in 8 s). The flies were exposed to chlorpyrifos (CPF) using the new feeding device. Our results demonstrated that the three methods for measuring negative geotaxis could be used interchangeably with respect to the needs and conditions of the expe… Show more
