Effects of pharmacological agents, glucose, and ATP on NaCl stress-related viability.

<p>Suspended cells, incubated with or without pharmacological agents (suramin, 300 µM; PPADS, 300 µM; and H-G, 50 mM glucose and 100 units/mL hexokinase) or glucose (50 mM), were exposed to NaCl (200 mM) or NaCl plus ATP (200 µM) for 24 h. Control cells were cultured with no addition of NaCl or any pharmacological agent. Bars represent the means of three independent experiments (in each at least 300 cells were counted). Whiskers represent the error of the mean. Different letters (a, b) denote significant differences between treatments (<i>P</i><0.01).
