MCCP attenuated oxidative stress in C. elegans. (A,B) ROS were measured in MCCP treated and untreated CL4176 worms at 36 h and 42 h after temperature shifted to 25 °C. The ROS in worms was measured using 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein. Results were expressed as DCF (2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein) fluorescence intensity relative to the untreated control. Data was obtained from three independent experiments, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01. (C) SOD activity was increased in CL4176 worms by treated with MCCP. Data was obtained from two independent experiments, ** p < 0.001.
