Abstract
Drosophila has
been used productively as a model organism for a century to study a diverse
range of biological process including genetics, inheritance, embryonic
development, behaviour and aging etc. Several ancient formulations are known
for its efficacy to solve several health problems in ayurveda but the
scientific validations of these products are few. Hence in the present project Terminalia
chebula has been tested for its efficacy to stress adaptogenic ability in D.
melanogaster. T. chebula have 33% hydrolysable tanins namely
chebulin of that 8 compounds are used for specific purpose. It is one of the
constituents for nutrition in ‘Triphala’. It stimulates appetite and used in
cancer treatment and detoxification. Reduced starvation in D. melanogaster
has shown the hypo lipid effect.
