Effect of epithalone on the age-specific changes in the time course of lipid peroxidation in Drosophila melanogaster
By Khavinson VK, Myl'nikov SV
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.
