Adult health and transition stage-specific rotenone-mediated Drosophila model of Parkinson’s disease: Impact on late-onset neurodegenerative disease models
9 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects almost 1% of the population worldwide over the age of 50 years. Exposure to environmental toxins like paraquat and rotenone is a risk factor for sporadic PD which constitutes 95% of total cases. Herbicide rotenone has been shown to cause Parkinsonian symptoms in multiple animal models. Drosophila is an excellent model organism for studying neurodegenerative diseases (NDD)...
