Phosphatidylcholine Extends Lifespan via DAF-16 and Reduces Amyloid-Beta-Induced Toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans

Figure 1

Effect of phosphatidylcholine on resistance to oxidative stress and lifespan. Sixty age-synchronized worms pretreated with phosphatidylcholine were placed under (a) oxidative stress, (b) heat shock, and (c) UV irradiation conditions. Survival of worms was monitored at indicated times after stress. (d) Lifespan was compared between the untreated control and worms treated with phosphatidylcholine. Error bar indicates standard error. PC: phosphatidylcholine.
