Levels of intracellular ROS in C. elegans subjected (B) or not (A) to thermal stress (35°C, 2h) grown in the absence (controls) or presence of EC (200 μM in the culture media). ROS levels were evaluated at different ages throughout the entire life of the worm. Five independent experiments were performed. The results are presented as the mean values ± SEM. Statistical significance was calculated using one-way analysis of variance ANOVA. The differences were considered significant at *(p<0.05).
