Description BACKGROUND: Tomato seeds, amajor by-product fromthe food processing industry, constitute a rich source of bioactives and
a large population consumes tomato (either in raw or cooked form). In the present study, initially we assessed the antioxidant
activity of aqueous extract of tomato seeds (TSE) in selected chemical systems and further explored the neuroprotective effects
of TSE utilising the rotenone (ROT)model of neurotoxicity in Drosophila.
RESULTS: Adultmale flies (Oregon K) were fed TSE-enriched medium (0.1–0.2%) with or without ROT (500
