In the
study, Cadmium (Cd), which is a environmentally polluting toxic heavy metal,
was added to the diet of model organism Drosophila melanogaster Meigen
through water and food, and it was tried to determine the effect on
life-development and sex ratio by using dry commercial Turkish coffee (TK). The
female and male individuals fed with the Cd acetate (0-30 ppm) and TK (2%) used
also had a long life span. It was determined that the decreasing survival rate
with Cd acetate may increase with the addition of TK to the food, the duration
of puberty may be shortened with TK, and the sex ratio in favor of men even
though there is no difference in nutrition. In addition, it was determined that
the use of Cd acetate shortens the life span of adult individuals, while
feeding with TK does not affect this negative effect much.
