Toxic Potential of Synthesized Graphene Zinc Oxide Nanocomposite in the Third Instar Larvae of Transgenic Drosophila melanogaster (hsp70-lacZ)Bg9

Figure 7

Comet assay performed on the midgut cells of the third instar larvae of transgenic Drosophila melanogaster (hsp70-lacZ)Bg 9 exposed to different doses of graphene zinc nanocomposite (GZNC) for 24 and 48 hr. at with respect to untreated larvae (GZNC: graphene zinc nanocomposite; NC: negative control; DMSO: dimethyl sulphoxide; SE: standard error). (c) Comet assay performed in gut cell exposed to 3.996 μg/μL of GZNC for 48 hr of duration.
