  • ↵6-a Inhibition is expressed as percent controls.

  • ↵6-b Values represent means ± S.D. of triplicate determinations from several independent experiments (number in parentheses).

  • ↵6-c Statistically different from controls, P < .05.

  • ↵6-d Statistically different from controls, P < .01.
