  1. Two different melanoma cell lines (HT168-M1) and normal fibroblast cells (MRC-5) were applied as model cells
  2. Data shown in the table represent mathematical averages of three parallels and ± S.D. values
  3. The level of significance is shown as follows: * p < 0.05
  4. aThe slope values are expressed in percentage of the control and describe the changing rate of Delta CI in first 3 h’ time interval of cell adhesion
