(a) Addition of 100 µM of C8‐SA extends the lifespan of wild‐type nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (N2). Two independent lifespan curves of each treatment are presented in the figure. (b) C8‐SA also improves the worms’ capacity to move at Day 11 and Day 18 of adulthood. In addition, this effect is more pronounced with 400 µM (p < 0.001) than with 100 µM (p < 0.001). (c) Concomitantly, the addition of the same amount of C8‐SA reduces significantly (p < 0.05) the overall level of carbonylated proteins
