Lifespan analysis of N2 worms. EISO, α- and β-santalol treatment reduced the senescence induced by 6-OHDA in C. elegans. The mean lifespan was calculated as the average number of days animal survived in tested pharmacological dose(s) and analyzed using log-rank test. For the analysis of statistical significance, 6-OHDA alone treated group was compared with untreated control, and 6-OHDA/EISO, α- or β-santalol treated groups were compared with 6-OHDA alone treated group.

Genotype Treatment Mean survival (mean ± SEM) Maximum lifespan (days) Sample size (N) % change p value
