Alaskan blueberry polyphenols reduced expression of α-synuclein in the OW13 strain of C. elegans. (A) Graphical representation of fluorescence intensity of the OW13 day 7 animals fed on different polyphenols found in Alaskan bog blueberry: CA = Chlorogenic acid, PAC = Proanthocyanidins, ANT = Anthocyanins from Larval L4 stage. A concentration of 400 μg/ml was used for all extracts and 0.1% DMSO in deionized water was used as a control. The data represent the mean ± SEM (n = 20–25 animals per group) with significant differences between the control and treatments, **p < 0.001, ***p < 0.0001. Each experiment was repeated three times. (B) Representative confocal images of the α-synuclein/YFP expression in the head region of day 7 OW13 animals, magnification 40X and scale bar 50 μm.
