Table 1.

EC50 values of mercurial-induced cell death.

EC50 μM (95%CI)
MeHg EtHg
Mercurial alone   4.83 (4.34–5.33) 5.05 (3.87–6.23)
Mercurial-Cys complex 11.20 (9.81–12.59)* 9.37 (8.81–9.93)#,+

EC50 values were determined by non-linear regression (sigmoidal concentration–response curves) from Fig. 1 data. EC50 values are expressed as mean and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
