The effect of MitoTEMPO presence during M. inceptum tun formation on return to full activity. (a) and (b) Tun duration for 3 and 60 days, respectively. Full activity was defined as coordinated movements of animal body and legs (crawling). The time windows of observations are indicated in minutes following the onset of rehydration. C2, control (the culture medium); MT, 0.01 mM MitoTEMPO. The differences observed for the mentioned experimental groups were not statistically significant (see also electronic supplementary material, Table S3)
