Oxidative stress tolerance of ucp-4(ok195) animals, (a) Survival of adult wildtype (filled) or ucp-4(ok195) (open) animals in the presence of the free-radical generating compound, paraquat (10 mM) at 25 °C. Results are average of four trials; (n) wildtype, 73 animals total in all trials; ok195, 72 animals in all trials, (b) Larval development in the presence of paraquat. Eggs were laid onto NGM agar medium containing 0, 0.2 or 0.8mM paraquat and allowed to develop for 48 h at 25 °C. Development of wildtype (left, average n = 140 ± 61 animals/dose/trial), ucp-4(ok195) (center, average n = 102 ± 45 animals/dose/trial), and mev-1(kn1) (right, average n = 46 ± 24 animals/dose/trial) animals is shown. Graphs show the means and standard deviations of results from four trials conducted on two different days. Paraquat concentrations greater than 0.8 mM severely impaired larval development in all strains.
