Figures & Tables

Figure 1

Mean (± SD) changes in the viability of HepG2 and SH-SY5Y cells exposed to ketamine (0.39–100 µmol/L) for 24 h relative to control (untreated cells). Concentrations found in human plasma upon analgesia (0.39 µmol/L), anaesthesia (6.25 µmol/L), and drug abuse (1.56 µmol/L) are framed in red. Positive control – staurosporine (2 µmol/L); &P<0.05; #P<0.01; $P<0.001; *P<0.0001 vs control (untreated cells)

Figure 2

Changes in comet tail intensity of HepG2 and SH-SY5Y cells exposed to ketamine for 24 h relative to control (alkaline comet assay). Ketamine concentrations correspond to concentrations found in human plasma upon analgesia (0.39 µmol/L), anaesthesia (6.25 µmol/L), and drug abuse (1.56 µmol/L). Results are expressed as mean, median and range. Positive control – H2O2 treated cells (100 µmol/2L)2. *Statistically significant differences (P<0.05, ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey HSD test) vs control
