LQ is the equation for the surviving fraction obtained by fitting the survival data to the linear quadratic equation.

The α or β parameters for the LQ were compared for the IR survival curves with and without Na2S using one-way ANOVA to obtain the p values for the α (Pα) or β (Pβ) parameters, respectively.

SF10 is the IR dose that reduced survival by 90%.

DEF10 is the Dose Enhancement Factor at 10% survival and is calculated as follows.DEF10=SF100μMNa2SSF10476μMNa2S
