Abstract

ABSTRACT Peripheral neuropathy is a common and dose-limiting side effect of the chemotherapeutic agent paclitaxel, often characterized by nociceptive hypersensitivity and oxidative stress. Drosophila melanogaster, a genetically tractable model organism, has been widely used to study nociceptive mechanisms and neuroprotection. Garlic oil, known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, presents a potential therapeutic intervention.
