The protective effect of AWX was shown in the mutational worms, glp-1(e2141) (a), daf-2(e1370) (b), rsks-1(ok1255) (c) and eat-2(ad465) (d). The meanings of X-axis and Y-axis are the same as ones in Fig.2. Control worms were exposure to Cr (VI) at 10 mM, but without the treatment of AWX. AWX concentration was at 0.1 volume of AWX/total volume. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001 compared to wt-control; # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01, ### P < 0.001 compared to mutant-control respectively. wt, wild-type
