MLP extends the lifespan of wild-type C. elegans. The mean life span of N2 worms treated with 25 mg/L MLP could be extended by up to 25 % at 20 °C (a) and 22.46 % at 25 °C (c). The figure shows the result of one experiment. Statistical details and repetitions are summarized in Table S1. c Dosage–response analysis of MLP. N2 animals were exposed to control, 25, 62.5 125, 312.5, or 625 mg/L MLP. The average percentage change in life span of three independent experiments was plotted as a function of dosage. Statistical details and repetitions of this experiment are summarized in Table S1 and S2. d The relative percentages of several polyphenol monomers in the gross MLP
