Abstract excerpt
We have established a method for the efficient measurement of oxidative stress resistance in Drosophila melanogaster, using a commercially available activity monitor. Conditions under which flies in glass tubes placed in the monitor can survive over one month at 25 degrees C were optimized. The active periods of flies were reduced by administration of H(2)O(2) into the media in a dose-dependent manner. Although...
