VPA reduces brood size, ovulation, and gonadal-sheath cell contractions. (A) VPA reduced the brood size of wild-type animals. (B) VPA (6 mM) reduced ovulation (passage of an oocyte into the spermatheca). (C) VPA (6 mM) reduced the basal sheath cell contraction rate in wild-type and control unc-24(e138) animals, but not in animals possessing an itr-1 gain-of-function mutation [itr-1(sy327) unc-24(e138)]. **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001; Student's test, compared with NaCl controls at the same concentration. Each data point represents mean ± SEM from 10 animals.
