Toxic effects of formaldehyde and the protective effect of docosahexaenoic acid in Drosophila

Formaldehyde (FA) is a commercially important chemical applied in industry and scientific research. However, FA has a distinct impact on learning and memory. Although the mechanisms of FA toxicity have been well studied, additional research is required to establish the mechanisms of neuroprotection...
