Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of LD50 concentration of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) on the amount of
protein, glycogen and lipid in the midgut and fat body of Galleria mellonella larvae and total hemocyte count which is an important
parameter in the immune system.
While CuO NPs were not statistically different protein content in midgut and fat body of G. mellonella, it was found that glycogen and
lipid contents were decreased. As for, total hemocyte count decreased when CuO NPs were applied to the diet. In conclusion, it was
shown that CuO NPs caused toxic effects on immune and metabolic systems of G. mellonella.

Abstract
Bu araştırmada bakır oksit nanopartiküllerinin (CuO NP) LD50 konsantrasyonunun etkisinde Galleria mellonella larvalarının orta
barsak ve yağ dokularındaki protein, glikojen ve lipit miktarları ile immun sistemde önemli bir parameter olan total hemosit sayısı
üzerine etkilerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
CuO NP’ nin G. mellonella orta barsak ve yağ dokusundaki protein miktarında istatistiki açıdan fark gözlenmezken, glikojen ve lipit
miktarlarında azalma meydana getirdiği tespit edilmiştir. Total hemosit sayısında ise, CuO NP’ nin etkisinde azalma meydana geldiği
belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, CuO NP’ nin immun ve metabolik sistemler üzerinde toksik etkilere neden olmaktadır.
