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

Figure 5

Curcumin reduces formation of radiation-induced H2Ax foci. Phosphorylated H2Ax was used as a marker of DNA double-strand breaks. Foci on wing discs were detected by immunostaining with specific antibodies for H2Ax (a). The incidence was measured by counting spots (b) and analyzed statistically ().
