Table 1.
Total Se contents of N2 (wildtype) and VB1414 (txnrd-1) worms following hatch incubation (18 h) with the Se species, directly after hatching (L1) and 48 h post-treatment (L4). Shown are mean values of at least two independent determinations ± SEM. Statistical analysis via unpaired t-test, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs. control of the respective larval stage.
