Effect of epithalone on the age-specific changes in the time course of lipid peroxidation in Drosophila melanogaster.

Bulletin of experimental biology and medicine2000PMID: 11182832

Plain Language Summary

Epitalon reduced lipid peroxidation markers, including conjugated hydroperoxides and Schiff bases, throughout the lifespan of Drosophila melanogaster when administered as a single dose at the larval stage. The effect persisted into adulthood, with strain- and sex-specific differences observed.

Abstract

The effect of epithalone on the age-specific time course of lipid peroxidation was studied in inadaptive Drosophila melanogaster strains. A single dose of epithalone at the larval stage decreased the level of conjugated hydroperoxides and Schiff bases throughout the life span of imago. Strain- and sex-specific differences in the time course of the studied sign are characterized.
