  • a -Fold induction determined from rate for treatment group divided by rate for control. Values are the mean ± S.D. of three human hepatocyte preparations.

  • b Significance found among treatment groups (where 0.1% DMSO is the vehicle control) according to Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis on ranks (p < 0.05) but unable to specify the groups that statistically differ from the other groups according to Dunnett's test with positive controls.

  • c Statistically significant according to Dunnett's test (p < 0.05) without positive controls.
