A Time-Dose Model to Quantify the Antioxidant Responses of the Oxidative Hemolysis Inhibition Assay (OxHLIA) and Its Extension to Evaluate Other Hemolytic Effectors

Table 3

Part A shows the additional parameters of interest (, , and ) and reparameterization equations deduced from algebraic modifications of (5) to make such values explicit and therefore to compute their confidence intervals. Part B shows four of the most common effector perturbations (linear, hyperbolic, sigmoidal, and bell modifications) on the kinetic description of the survival erythrocyte population.
