Oxidative stress and fertility studies of selected plants using female Drosophila melanogaster
The plant extracts were found to be associated with a decrease in flies' mortality, while the fertility index increased significantly. The OS markers [Hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) and Nitric oxide (NO)] were elevated in varying degrees with a decrease in the antioxidant parameters [total thiols (T-SH), and non-protein thiol (NPSH)] revealed in flies exposed to the medicinal plants.
