Curcumin Mitigates Accelerated Aging after Irradiation in Drosophila by Reducing Oxidative Stress

Figure 1

Curcumin pretreatment recovers shortened fly lifespan by ionizing radiation. Several doses of ionizing radiation were administered at the 3rd larval stage, and the lifespans of adult males (a) and females (b) were measured. Larvae were fed 100 M curcumin from egg hatching before 10 Gy of irradiation at the 3rd larval stage, and the lifespans of adult males (c) and females (d) were measured (, ).
