Lit Review
(Wu et, al, 2006)
PurposeTo determine if ginkgo biloba amyloid, freeze dried black raspberries and freeze dried blueberries has an effect on Alzheimer dieses in C. elegans.
Null hypothesis is that no effect will occur when ginkgo biloba amyloid, freeze dried black raspberries and freeze dried blueberries ware added.
The Alternative hypothesis is that ginkgo biloba amyloid, freeze dried black raspberries and freeze dried blueberries
Hypothesis
Methodology The Effect of Ginkgo Biloba Amyloid, Freeze Dried Black Raspberries and Freeze Dried Blueberries on the supression of Amaloid B in C. elegans
C. Elegans fed with a 10 % solution of Ginkgo Biloba N=?
C. Elegans fed with 10% solution of Freeze dried Black raspberriesN=?
C. Elegans fed with a 10 % solution of Freeze Dried Blueberries N= ?
C. Elegans will be fed with 100 ul spots of e. coli (OP5O) on nematode growth medium and c. elegans will be cultured a 20 degrees C
Results will be taken from visual analysis of C. elegans under a microscope.
C. Elegnas with no solutions N= ?(Control)
C. Elegnas with amaloid b and ginkgo biblia solution (Experimental)
Protocols for MeasurementGrown on NGM and C. elegans will be fed with E.
Coli (OP5O) with 100 ul spots.
Amaloid B (AB) protein will be mixed with and without ginkgo biblia at 100 ug/ml solution( stord at -20 Degrees C)
Ginkgo Biloba Amyloid, Freeze Dried Black Raspberries and Freeze Dried Blueberries will be given in the NGM in a 10 % solution.
Protocols for Measurement (cont)
All solutions will be given after one day and analysis will be looked at after 2 days.
Analysis will be compared ( under a microscope) to the number of normal and the number of paralyzed c. elegans
Analysis will be compared ( under a microscope) to the number of normal and the number of paralyzed c. elegans
Do- ability C. elegans and chemicals are easy to buyMuch of the equipment is already in the labChemicals are easily applied to C. elegans
