C. elegans survival was not affected by 200 μM treatment with novel organic selenium compounds.

Worms were treated with each of the compounds for 1 h or vehicle (DMSO for organic selenium compound, EtOH for juglone and M9 buffer for control). After three washes in M9, the worms were transferred to NGM plates and the viability assessed 24 h later. Results are shown as% of survival of total worms (mean ± SEM) of three independent experiments. * indicates statistical significance (p < 0.05) compared to the control group with one-way ANOVA followed by Newman-Keuls Multiple Comparison Test.
