MEs decreased the aggregation and toxicity of α-synuclein in NL5901 worms. (a) The survival curve of NL5901 worms treated with MEs. (b) The endpoint microscope fluorescence image of α-synuclein aggregates in NL5901 worms treated with or without MEs on days 3 and 5 past the adult stage. (c) The quantitative analysis of the α-synuclein aggregates in NL5901 worms shown in (b). All the worms in the experiment were synchronized to the young adult stage and subsequently started to be exposed to 100 μg/mL MEs. Error bars represented the SEM of three independent replicates of total worms.
