Effect of Marine Omega 3 Fatty Acids on Methylmercury-Induced Toxicity in Fish and Mammalian Cells In Vitro

Figure 3

Titration of MeHg in ASK and HEK293 cell culture. (a) Growth pattern of ASK in xCELLigence after normalization. (b) Growth pattern of HEK293 in xCELLigence after normalization. (c) Area under curve from (timespan = 48 h after MeHg exposure), representing loss of adherent cells or decreased growth in ASK cells. The dose response showed a nonlinear curve ( 𝑟 2 = 0 . 9 8 2 4 ). (d) Area under curve (timespan = 48 h after MeHg exposure), representing loss of adherent cells or decreased growth in HEK 293 cells. The dose response showed a linear curve ( 𝑟 2 = 0 . 9 4 9 1 ).
