Figure 2. Lifespan of C. elegans treated with different concentrations of NAC. Age-synchronized 3-day-old worms were treated with different NAC concentrations throughout their lifespan (n=60). Both the mean and the maximum lifespan increased significantly in the 2 and 5 mM NAC treated groups (p<0.05 by the log-rank test). Untreated worms were used as a control.
