Summary of the effects of the environmental toxins on cardiac spheroids.

Environmental toxins on cardiac organoids Range of Doses Live/Dead Effective Dose IC50 Heart beat effective dose at 30 min Heart beat effective dose at 24 h Heart beat effective dose at 48 h
Glyphosate 25 µM–25 mM 2.5–25 mM 10.85 mM 2.5 mM 2.5 mM 2.5 mM
Lead 10 µM–10 mM 1–10 mM 2.45 mM 10 mM 100 µM 100 µM
Mercury 200 nM–200 µM 2–20 µM 44 µM 2 µM 2 µM 2 µM
Thallium 10 nM–10 µM 10–100 µM 1.35 µM 10 µM 1 µM 1 µM

Effective dose for live/dead imaging is summarized as a qualitative measure of rapid cell death detected in images. Effective dose for heart beat assay at each time point is described by a p-value of 0.05.
