Figure 3. Accumulation of insoluble proteins in iron treated C. elegans. (A) SDS PAGE gel of the aqueous, SDS-soluble and SDS-insoluble protein fractions of control and iron treated animals. (B) Number of insoluble proteins overlapping between control and iron treated animals as identified by Mass Spectroscopy. (C) Quantification of proteins and peptides in the SDS-insoluble fraction of control and animals treated with 15mM FAC from day one of adulthood.
