[Effects of glutamic acid on heat tolerance and 70 kD proteins of Drosophila melanogaster].
From supplement of dietary glutamic acid, the heat tolerance ability of Drosophila and the change of Hsp70(heat shock proteins) were studied. The results showed that the supplement of dietary glutamic acid could increase the survival time and the contents Hsp70 of Drosophila, in the 37 degrees C heat environment; but could not get the Hsp70 rise up when Drosophila were in 25 degrees C. Based on the findings, we could make the conclusion that supplement dietary glutamic acid could benefit the heat tolerance ability of Drosophila, and it might be related to the increase of Hsp70.
