Evaluation of the Lifespan of Fruit Fly Drosophila melanogaster Exposed to Dioxins
Abstract
The polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) formed during combustion processes and as
by-products of industrial processes are persistent organic pollutants. In the
present study, the PCDDs of 2,3,7,8-TCDD, 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD, 1,2,3,7,8,9-HXCDD
and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-OCDD (1,
2.5, 5 and 10µg/mL medium) were
evaluated for their possible toxicity on the survival rate of Drosophila melanogaster, in vivo. The
effects of different concentrations of dioxins were separately administered to
female and male populations of D.
melanogaster. In all application groups, both the survival rate and each
population’s longevity decreased, depending on the concentration of dioxins (p<0.05). In conclusion, the toxic
effect for the survival rate and longevity was observed in the following order:
2,3,7,8-TCDD> 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD> 1,2,3,7,8,9-HXCDD>
1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-OCDD.
