PA extends the lifespan of C. elegans and modulates lipid metabolism via the mitochondrial pathway. (A–C) Survival curves of the mitochondrial dysfunction mutants isp-1, clk-1, and aak-2 treated with 200 μM PA (mean ± SD, n ≥ 3; log-rank test). (D) Relative expression levels of mitochondrial genes in N2 worms after 24 h of treatment with 200 μM PA (mean ± SD, n ≥ 3; **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001; t-test). (E,F) Effects of wild-type N2 on fat content analyzed with or without 200 μM PA (mean ± SD, n ≥ 30; **p < 0.01; t-test). (G) mRNA expression levels related to fat metabolism genes were assessed after 24 h of treatment with 200 μM PA (mean ± SD, n ≥ 3; ***p < 0.001; ns, not significant; t-test).
