Dithiothreitol induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and its role in neurodegeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans

Figure 2 Body bending assay. A: Counting criteria of body bend in Caenorhabditis elegans. From the left side, complete bends are seen in frames 1^st, 2^nd, and last and image 3^rd show an incomplete bend; B: Average Body bend count per minute at 0-10 mmol/L dithiothreitol (DTT) concentration; C: The body bend graph indicates a declining count where animals were exposed to increasing concentrations of DTT (0–10 mmol/L). Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 3). Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. ^aP < 0.01 vs control (0 mmol/L DTT). DTT: Dithiothreitol.
