Effect of Marine Omega 3 Fatty Acids on Methylmercury-Induced Toxicity in Fish and Mammalian Cells In Vitro
Figure 5
Mean-normalized expression (MNE) of (a) bclx, (b) gst, (c) gpx2, (d) tuba, and (e) hsp70 in ASK cells. Data are represented by median, with error bars representing interquartile range. Data are treated through factorial design, where for all groups (columns shown), and significant differences () are indicated by asterix. MeHg and FA effects were calculated across groups where and , respectively. Significant effects () of MeHg are shown using bracket lines. No fatty acid effect compared to control was observed. Statistical analysis was performed using nonparametric Kruskal Willis with post hoc paired comparisons.
