Figure 4. Intracellular GSH content in A549 cells after 1-day treatment. Glutathione measurement in A549 cells unexposed (control) and exposed to increasing concentrations (10 - 100 μg/ml) of Cd-SiNPs, CdCl2, SiNPs after 24 h. GSH levels were affected by all tested materials. Data are mean ± SD of three separate experiments each carried out in six replicates. *Different from control 𝑃 < 0.05, Statistical analysis by ANOVA
