Effects of Curcumin and Cu²⁺ on biochemical parameters in D. melanogaster. Total thiols level (A), Glutathione S-transferase activity (B), Hydrogen peroxide level (C) and Catalase activity (D) of D. melanogaster exposed to Cu²⁺(1 mM) and Curcumin (0.2 and 0.5 mg/kg diet) for 7 days. Values are expressed as Mean ± Standard Error of Mean (n = 5). Significant differences from the control are indicated by *(p < 0.05). Significant differences from the Cu²⁺ - treated group indicated by ^#(p < 0.05).
