From: Expression profile of Caenorhabditis elegans mutant for the Werner syndrome gene ortholog reveals the impact of vitamin C on development to increase life span

Figure 1

Impact of vitamin C on the life span of wild type and wrn- 1 mutant C. elegans strains. The difference in longevity between vitamin C treated wrn-1(gk99) and untreated wrn-1(gk99) C. elegans strain grown at 25°C is significant (log rank test; P =1.83 × 10-6). The difference in longevity between vitamin C treated wild type (N2) and untreated wild type (N2) C. elegans strain grown at 25°C is significant (log rank test; P =2.07 × 10-5). All experiments were performed four to six times with 20 to 30 worms per genotype. P-values were obtained using the log-rank test method.
