Note: (^a) Mo − Cd− (0 µM Mo and 0 µM Cd), ^(b) Mo + Cd− (1 µM Mo and 0 µM Cd), ^(c) Mo − Cd+ (0 µM Mo and 100 µM Cd), (^d) Mo + Cd+ (1 µM Mo and 100 µM Cd). Numerical values represent means ± S.E. from different independent treatments. Dissimilar superscripted letters (^a, ^b, ^c, etc.) in each column indicate significant differences among different treatments at p < 0.05.
