Expected and observed amounts of apoptosis for combined high-dose alpha-particle irradiation and high-dose uranium exposure

No. of embryosa Expected Observed P (Case 1b) P (Case 2c) Interaction

The expected values (N<IH>UH or NIH<UH>) and observed values (NIHUH ) of apoptosis for the combined effects of ∼4.4 mGy alpha-particle irradiation and exposure to 100 µg/l uranium concentration for 1 h on the 24 hpf Zebrafish embryos, indicating whether the interactions were additive, synergistic or antagonistic. aReferring to the total number of embryos in all four sets of samples. bNIH was added to each embryo in the UH group. cNUH was added to each embryo in the IH group.
