Effect of Carqueja hydroalcoholic extract (CHE) on wild-type C. elegans growth, reproduction and pharyngeal pumping. (a) Body length. L1 animals were treated or not with 50 mg/mL CHE for 48 h. Images were captured of L4 animals, and body length was measured along the animal axis using Axio Vision Rel. 4.8 software. There was no significant difference between groups, as determined by two-tailed Student's t-test. (b) Brood size. Progeny profiles were measured in animals treated or not with 50 mg/mL CHE. Animals were transferred individually to NGM plates and moved daily until the end of the reproductive period. The results were plotted as the mean ± SEM for each day. (c) Pharyngeal pumping. Pharyngeal pumping rate was quantified using L4 wild-type animals treated or not with 50 mg/mL CHE. There was no significant difference between groups, as determined by two-tailed Student's t-test.
