Increase in ZFP-1 expression promotes resistance to oxidative stress.

(A) Survival of L4 larva (n = 120) from indicated strains after 20 hour incubation period in 100mM paraquat: *** indicates significance of P<0.001, ** - P<0.01 and * - P<0.05 compared to the control transgenic strain. (B) Life span of indicated transgenic strains. Mean life spans were significantly different between the control strain and all other strains (P<0.0001). Control; zfp-1 was found to be significantly different from both ZFP-1::FLAG and ZFP-1::FLAG; zfp-1 (P<0.0001). Life spans were determined in parallel for all strains; data shown is from one representative experiment that has been performed two times.
