  8. Oxidative Stress • Cigarette smoke is used as an example shown here http://healthy-lifestyle.most-effective-solution.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/oxidative-stress.jpg

  11. Investigation of Free Radicals in Cigarette Mainstream Smoke M. Ghoshand P. Ionita

  12. Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to find if nitric oxide have any effect on the development of Alzheimer's disease. Nitric Oxide will cause an increase or speed up the development of Alzheimer's symptoms Hypothesis

  13. Experimental Design Protocols Used: GrittaTettweiler, Mathieu Miron, Mark Jenkins, 2005 ELIZABETH J. HARRY, KIT POGLIANO, AND RICHARD LOSICK 1995

  14. The Effects of Nicotine and Nitric Oxide on the development of Amyloid beta plaques in wild type and APP drosophila APP Drosophila–no nicotine or nitric oxide n= 20 APP Drosophila –nitric oxide n= 20 (6 days old) Wild Type – no nitric oxide n = 20 Wild Type-nitric oxide n= 20 (6 days old) 5 trials will be run, each for approximately 30 days per trial. After all slides have been made they will be observed using the fluorescent microscope and the images will be taken using a digital camera and then using Photoshop the amyloid beta plaques will be measured Using SPSS statistical analysis will be done using an ANOVA followed by a Scheffe Posthoc test with p< .05

  15. Budget

  16. Do Ability • All materials are orderable from school approved companies • Drosophila can be kept alive with relative ease in school lab • Our school lab already has a microscope necessary for observation
