Aging impaired locomotor and biochemical activities in Drosophila melanogaster Oregon R (fruit fly) model.

Despite advancements in healthcare and increased lifespan, aging populations face numerous challenges, including declining cognitive function, increased susceptibility to chronic diseases, and reduced quality of life. This study investigated Aging impaired Locomotors and Biochemical Activities in Drosophila melanogaster Oregon R (Fruit Fly) Model with the aim to elucidate the mechanism involved. Adult wild-type Drosophila melanogaster Oregon R was used for this study.

Mating dynamics of a sperm-limited drosophilid, Zaprionus indianus.

When males have large sperm, they may become sperm limited and mating dynamics may be affected. One such species is Zaprionus indianus, a drosophilid that is an introduced pest species in the Americas. We examined aspects of mating behavior in Z.

oil exhibits anti-aging effects in transgenic Alzheimer's via anti oxidant pathways: survival-rate and life span studies.

In this article we aime to investigate he anti-aging effect of oil. Transgenic flies engineered under UAS/GAL4 system were acquired from the Bloomington Drosophila stock center. For methodology, (LC50), 30 flies 2-3 days old were divided into four groups, and exposed to diets of 30, 60, 90, and 120 μL/10 g in 3 replicates at a density of 30 flies per vial.

Sexual dimorphism and determination using foot outlines, foot print angles, and foot indices.

Sex determination is one of the fundamental procedures in the forensic investigation during personal identification. Foot dimensions, prints, indices, and angles are assessment tools used by podiatrists and forensic anthropologists. The arch index remains a tool for clinical evaluation of the incidence of pes planus by clinicians.

Comparison of diagnostic criteria and prevalence of metabolic syndrome using WHO, NCEP-ATP III, IDF and harmonized criteria: A case study from urban southeast Nigeria.

Background And Aims: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a worldwide public health problem, affecting not just developed countries but also developing countries and impacts all age groups. Different criteria are available for its assessment. The present study aims at comparing the prevalence of MetS using four criteria.
