Inducible Protective Processes in Animal Systems XIII: Comparative Analysis of Induction of Adaptive Response by EMS and MMS in Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma Cells

Table 4

Percent reduction of chromosomal aberrations in EAC cells after combined treatment of EMS or MMS at different recovery times.

Alkylating agent	Recovery time (h)	𝐴; Additive effect; (conditioning + challenging dose); (%)	𝐵; Combined effect; (treatment of conditioning and challenging dose together); (%)	𝐶; Reduction; (%)
MMS	24	101.44	57.89	42.93^b
	48	79.22	44.00	44.46^b
	72	56.88	26.22	53.91^c
EMS	24	74.78	47.44	36.55^a
	48	64.33	39.44	38.69^b
	72	52.45	30.44	41.95^b

Note: values with the same superscripts are not significantly different (𝑃>0.05), whereas values with different superscripts are significantly different (𝑃<0.05) from one another. Percentage of reduction was calculated by using formula 𝐶=(𝐵/𝐴∗100)−100.
