aThe IC50 values are the mean ± SEM of 4 independent experiments (performed on different days), within which measurements were averaged from 3 replicates.
bThe P values determined from a 1-way ANOVA were less than 0.001 for comparisons with the C2GC03 line, within a control treatment.
cThe P values determined from a 1-way ANOVA were less than 0.001 for comparisons between the control treatment and the relevant + verapamil treatment within the same line.
