Experimental design for OP acute time course experiment. Worms were cultured in medium containing 15.0 μM, 0.6 μM, or no dichlorvos. Three exposure regimes were used. In the first, the worms remained in medium until the time of harvest. In the two others, the toxicant was washed out at 2 or 8 h after initiation of the experiment. Sham exposures are untreated controls that have been subjected to the washout procedure. Asterisks indicate when samples were taken.
