Fig. 2. Effect of Dunaliella salina (DS) extract on Caenorhabditis elegans CL4176 strain.
a Time course of the paralysis assay after Aβ-peptide induction and treated with different concentrations of DS extract (1, 10, 25 and 50 μg/mL). For each condition tested, two independent assays including n = 60 worms/assay were performed. Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb 761®) was used as a positive control extract. b Percentage of Aβ protein aggregation after 26 h of DS extract treatment (50 μg/mL) compared to control conditions (0.05% DMSO). c Percentage of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) after 26 h of DS extract treatment (50 μg/mL) compared to control conditions (0.05% DMSO). In all cases, error bars indicate standard deviation of the mean.
