Description
INTRODUCTION: Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement and is caused by the progressive loss of dopamine-producing neurons, making it significant in understanding motor dysfunction and brain degeneration. Previous studies have suggested that BSA can have an effect on protein stability and biological responses in model organisms.
METHOD: This study relates Parkinson’s disease with the use of BSA in fruit flies as a model to study the possible biological effects associated with it. This experiment uses BSA to study the differences in physiological and behavioral responses between wild-type fruit flies and Parkinson’s disease model fruit flies.
RESULTS: The expected effects of the treatment will be assessed by comparing the differences between the wild-type and Parkinson’s disease model fruit flies to evaluate the possible effects of BSA.
