Effects of the Cranberry Product on Pumping Rates, Locomotion Activity, and Body Size of Caenorhabditis elegans
Body size | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Pumping rate (times/min) | Speed (μm/s) | Length (μm) | Width (μm) | |
2-day treatment | ||||
Control | 222.6 ± 5.6 | 39.6 ± 2.8 | 542.2 ± 11.5 | 56.0 ± 3.8 |
Cranberry product | ||||
0.016% | 247.8 ± 8.1 | 38.0 ± 2.0 | 522.5 ± 10.3 | 51.9 ± 1.3 |
0.08% | 219.3 ± 12.0 | 39.3 ± 2.5 | 513.9 ± 23.1 | 57.1 ± 5.4 |
4-day treatment | ||||
Control | 221.6 ± 7.9 | 31.2 ± 2.0 | 538.9 ± 14.2 | 52.7 ± 1.5 |
Cranberry product | ||||
0.016% | 245.8 ± 14.9 | 31.2 ± 2.2 | 528.2 ± 24.5 | 51.1 ± 2.8 |
0.08% | 218.5 ± 14.7 | 34.2 ± 2.0 | 565.8 ± 18.7 | 54.0 ± 1.9 |
Numbers are means ± standard errors (n = 10–15 for pumping rates and n = 15–35 for speed and body size measurements). There are no significant differences between control and the cranberry product treatment group.
