Group N Total cell number Apoptotic cell number Apoptotic cell index (%)
Control (without MWNT) 21 425.85 ± 45.69a 93.53 ± 19.84a 19.74 ± 2.83a
MWNT (0.2 μg ml−1) 30 288.08 ± 36.27b 111.64 ± 22.17a 33.01 ± 3.72b

Means with different superscripts within a column differ at p < 0.05 (ANOVA).

N = number of embryos.
