Hormesis: a stress response in cells exposed to low levels of heavy metals.

Human & experimental toxicology - 1 Jul 2000

Abstract excerpt

Cytotoxicity studies using a 3-(4,5 dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT)-based in vitro toxicity assay revealed that McCoy cells exposed to low concentrations of mercuric (0.7 microM), cadmium (1 microM) and cupric chloride (3 microM) exhibited significant increases in cellular activity. This increased activity, previously termed hormesis, coincided with the production of high levels of...
