The Levels of MT in the WT Cells Treated with Lead
| Lead exposure concentration, μmol/L | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 100 | 200 | |
| Metallothionein (μg/106 cells) | 10.9± 1.1 | 86.1± 8.2* | 112.5± 12.2* |
WT cells were treated with lead for 48 hours. MT was measured by the Cd-hemoglobin method. Data are given as the mean ± SEM (n = 3).
*Significant (P < 0.05) difference from untreated cells.
