The time to maturation of a free-living, protandrous, self-fertilizing nematode, Caenorhabditis hriggsae, was used to assay preparations of a proteinaceous growth factor and the effects of different treatments. Development was measured as time of the production of Fi offspring against concentration
## Abstract In the present study, a toxic mechanism of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was investigated in the nematode, __Caenorhabditis elegans__, focusing on the involvement of oxidative stress in reproduction toxicity. Initially, AgNPs were tested as potential oxidative stress inducers, and increa
