Scatter plots were fit with a logistic dose response function, y = [A1–A2/1 + (x0/x)p] + A2, where x0 is the current at half-maximal effect (μA) and p is the slope factor; R2 is the coefficient of determination. Scatter plots that did not fit with a logistic dose response were fit with a straight line, y = Bx + A; values are also shown for correlation coefficient (R), standard deviation (SD), and significance level (p). In all cases, n = number of oocytes per group.
