The In vivo Antioxidant Protective Activity of Mangifera indica Cold Aqueous Leaf Extract in Drosophila Melanogaster

Abstract: Objective: To evaluate in vivo antioxidant activity of Mangifera indica cold aqueous leaf extract.  Methods: A number of 50 adult flies were exposed to graded concentrations of Mangifera indca cold aqueous leaf extract, 2.5 mg/10 g diet, 5 mg/10 g diet and 10 mg/10 g diet for 5 days. Each concentration was prepared in 200 µl of distilled water and replicated five times. 10 g diet with 200 µl distilled water served as control. Mortality reading was taken at 24 hours interval. The flies were homogenized, c… Show more

“…However, most of their antioxidant activity is from polyphenol compounds such as avonoids, iso avones, avones, anthocyanins, catechin and isocatechin (16)(17)(18). Intake of compounds containing exogenous antioxidants is associated with an enhancement of endogenous antioxidant defenses (9,11). This has also been seen in this study with the increase in the in vivo DPPH free radical scavenging activity seen in Drosophila ies fed on Amaranth leaf extracts.…”

“…Exogenous antioxidants can also modulate endogenous enzyme activity (5). For example, catalase activity is increased in Drosophila ies fed on mango tree leaf extracts (11). However, in this study the increase in catalase activity in ies fed on Amaranth extract was not signi cant.…”

“…The in vivo antioxidant activity of Bidens pilosa L. fruit extract was tested in the fruit fly model as described by Etuh et al (2019). Newly hatched male flies 1-2 days old were reared in three different media, including standard medium, medium supplemented with a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL Bidens pilosa L. extract, and medium supplemented with gallic acid at a concentration of 0.05 mg/mL feed.…”

“…Mango ( Mangiferina indica L.) from the Anacardiaceae family is a native fruit from Southeast Asia which is grown mainly in tropical regions in more than 87 countries [ 1 ]. Its exploitation produces a high amount of agro-industrial waste, such as seeds, peels, leaves and steam bark, derived from the activity of pruning and industrial fruit processing.…”
