Cells were exposed to each agonist or antagonist alone, without the addition of cadmium

Values are means ± s.d. of triplicate samples from three independent experiments

No significant difference was obtained between control cells and cells treated with each agonist and antagonist as determined by Dunnet test, P<0.01
