Figure 6 Phycoerythrin-feeding increases mean survival percentage of Caenorhabditis elegans. A: Phycoerythrin-feeding increases the mean life span of wild type N2 C. elegans in dose-dependent manner[43]; B: Phycoerythrin-feeding increases mean survival percentage of C. elegans in under normal and oxidative (paraquat) stressed conditions[43]; C: PE-treatment moderates the heat-induced Alzheimer associated paralysis in the muscles of CL4176 C. elegans[63]; D: Representative images of CL4176 animal grown at 16 °C, at 25 °C and at 25 °C with phycoerythrin. Phycoerythrin effectively moderates the Alzheimer associated phenotype in CL4176 C. elegans[63]. PE: Phycoerythrin; C. elegans: Caenorhabditis elegans.
