Table 1.
Differences between treatment arms at 2 and 4 h (generalized linear regression model). Note: Intensity nuclei/intensity area (percent) was log transformed * for model fitting. Given that the interaction of time and type of solution was present, we presented separate models after 2 and 4 h of incubation.
