Croton campestris A. St.-Hill Methanolic Fraction in a Chlorpyrifos-Induced Toxicity Model in Drosophila melanogaster: Protective Role of Gallic Acid

Figure 2

Effects of exposure to CP and MFCC on mortality (a), locomotor performance (b), ROS generation (c), and cell viability (d) in Drosophila melanogaster. The mortality score and negative geotaxis were evaluated after 48 hours of treatment in the presence of MFCC (0.1 and 1 mg/mL) and CP (0.25 ppm). ROS levels and cell viability were measured after 48 hours of treatment with MFCC (0.1 mg/mL) and CP (0.25 ppm). The results are represented as (SEM), are expressed as of the fluorescence levels of DCF-DA and resorufin, and are expressed as the percentage of control. The statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA and the Newman-Keuls post hoc test. and in relation to control and and in relation to group CP.
