1The control groups for paralysis assays were referred to previously published data [12]. 2, where is the age category, is the number of worms that paralyzed in the age interval , and is the total number of worms. 3The median paralysis is the time at which the percentage of nonparalytic worms equals 50%. 4The maximum paralysis is the time at which paralysis equals 0%. 5% effect was calculated by , where is the mean paralysis time of worms treated with carnosol and is the mean paralysis time of control. 6The value was calculated using the log-rank test by comparing the carnosol-treated group with the control.
