Figure 4

Ethanol extract (EE) effect on Caenorhabditis elegans wild-type growth and development. Wild-type C. elegans animals were treated with EE at 0, 100, 250, 500, and 1000 μg/mL concentration. (a) Egg hatching assay. The -axis corresponds to concentrations of EE. The -axis corresponds to the percentage of egg hatching. (b) Body length was measured using Image J software. The -axis corresponds to EE concentrations used. The -axis corresponds to body length. (c) Image from the animal at 0 h and 48 h of EE treatment at the different concentrations. Three independent experiments were performed, with three replicates per treatment (A-B-C). The data were analysed by ANOVA and Tukey’s test ().
