Fig. 10. Time course of Rb⁺ uptake, [K]_i, and Hb_c ODs in LM AgNPs-treated RBCs from fresh human cord blood. RBCs were incubated at 37 °C for 15, 30, and 60 min. RBCs were obtained from MVH and subject to the different procedures described in Materials and Methods. A) Rb⁺ influx, B) [K]_i, and C) Hb_c ODs were determined as described in Materials and Methods and conditions are as described in the legend to Fig. 3. Values are means ± S.D, n =3-6. The statistical significance of the difference between NPS vs CONT at the different time points was determined by either paired t- test or two sample t-test. A) ***p<0.0001, * p<0.05, B) *** p<0.0005, and C) p > 0.05.
