Figure 5From: Effects of early life exposure to ultraviolet C radiation on mitochondrial DNA content, transcription, ATP production, and oxygen consumption in developing Caenorhabditis elegans Exposure to UVC did not cause a detectable change in nDNA copy number, but decreased mtDNA copy number at later time points. Effect on nDNA: p = 0.82 for main effect of UVC, p = 0.37 for interaction of UVC with time, p < 0.0001 main effect of time. Effect on mtDNA: p < 0.0001 for main effects of UVC and time, p = 0.15 for interaction. n = 8–20 (3 or 4 separate experiments).Back to article page
