---|---|---|
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).
p< 0.001 when compared to MeHg.
p < 0.001 when compared to EtHg.
p < 0.01 when compared to MeHg-S-Cys.
