Article Synopsis
- Cadmium (Cd) causes oxidative stress in organisms, while the ethnomedicinal plant Tetrapleura tetraptera (Tt) is known for its high antioxidant properties and potential to treat various diseases.
- The study involved feeding Drosophila melanogaster different diets, including Tt extracts and cadmium chloride (CdCl), then measuring the impact on oxidative stress markers and fly health after a week.
- Results showed that T. tetraptera reduced oxidative stress caused by cadmium, improving antioxidant activity, enhancing levels of important compounds, and increasing the rate of offspring emergence, suggesting its potential as a treatment for oxidative stress-related issues.
