Trace element changes during hibernation of Drosophila melanogaster by WDXRF analyses at chilling temperature

Fruit flies ( Drosophila melanogaster) were exposed to low temperature (4 °C, 3d), after controlled acclimation (15 °C, 1d) and passed to artificial hibernation. The concentrations of elements in almost 1000 mature flies were measured by Wavelength-Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometry....

Summary:Fruit flies ( Drosophila melanogaster) were exposed to low temperature (4 °C, 3d), after controlled acclimation (15 °C, 1d) and passed to artificial hibernation. The concentrations of elements in almost 1000 mature flies were measured by Wavelength-Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometry. Concentration changes of Zn, K, S, Ca (33.5%, 11.2%, 10.3% and 7.5%, respectively) and especially Cr and Mn (99.90 and 99.60) were observed. Concentrations of Cr, Zn, S and Ca increased significantly, but concentrations of Mn and K decreased in with comparison to the control group.
