DXN and its principal component Valeriana jatamansi (Vj) delayed worm paralysis similarly, but it could not be reduced due to its safety. (A) Paralysis assays for the temperature sensitive Aβ strain CL4176 treated with DXN or other herbs of Ra, Ru and Vj. Data are the average of three replicates with about 180 worms in each group. ***Indicated that there was significant difference between treatment group and control group at P < 0.001. (B) The effects of DXN and Vj on the body length of AD worms tested. The concentration of herb of Ra, Ru and Vj was equivalent to each of them containing in DXN. There is significant difference among these groups when symbols are different (P < 0.05). (C) Paralysis assays for the temperature sensitive Aβ strain CL4176 treated with DXN from the onset of paralysis. Data are the average of three replicates with about 180 worms in each group. ***Indicated that there was significant difference between treatment group and control group at P < 0.001. (D) The effect of DXN on Vj on GFP expression in smg-1[myo-3p::GFP] worms. (E) The relative mean fluorescence intensity of worms treated with or without drugs. Data are the average of three replicates with about 90 worms in each group. The scale bar was 40 μm.
