Rasayana effect of Guduchi Churna on the life span of Drosophila melanogaster .
Ayu 2016
INTRODUCTION: The Drosophila melanogaster is one of the most extensively studied animal models for understanding the process of aging and longevity. This fly is being used for genetic studies since almost a century. Guduchi ( Tinospora cordifolia [Wild.] Miers.) is an Ayurvedic drug used as Rasayana (rejuvenation) due to its antiaging effect.
AIM: To explore the potential of Guduchi Churna (powder of T. cordifolia ) on the life span of D. melanogaster using adult feeding method.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: For experimental setups, the regular food media were mixed with Guduchi Churna in different concentrations (0.25 g/100 ml, 0.50 g/100 ml, and 0.70 g/100 ml). Flies were exposed to these concentrations for 30 days.
RESULTS: Increase in the lifespan was observed in both parent and F-1 generation. Applying of ANOVA revealed significant difference between control and drug groups. The longevity effect, in the drug group was seen even on F-1 generation.
CONCLUSION: Guduchi Churna enhances the life span of D. melanogaster in both parent and F-1 generation.
