Cytotoxicity and cytostatic end points with increasing Zn concentration scored using CBMN-Cyt assay in HOK cells on day 11: a percentage of apoptotic cells from cultures treated with ZnSO4, b percentage of apoptotic cells from cultures treated with ZnC, c percentage of necrotic cells from cultures treated with ZnSO4, d percentage of necrotic cells from cultures treated with ZnC, e NDI of cultures treated with ZnSO4, and f NDI of cultures treated with ZnC. Groups not sharing the same letter are significantly different to each other. Results are shown are mean ± standard error (n = 6). (P values refer to One-way ANOVA analysis: P < 0.05)
