TSG (2,3,5,4′-Tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside) from the Chinese Herb Polygonum multiflorum Increases Life Span and Stress Resistance of Caenorhabditis elegans

Figure 5

Increased resistance against lethal heat-stress by treatment with TSG. TSG treatment increases the resistance against thermal stress at 50 μM and 100 μM (a). Resveratrol treatment (b) and quercetin treatment effectively increased the survival only at 100 μM. Survival curves represent the data of 4 independent experiments with a total of 48 animals per group (Kaplan-Meier survival analysis); corresponding data are summarised in Table 1.
