Table 1 Changes of intracellular Ca2+ concentration in the cell population with elevated [Ca2+]i, assessed by flow cytometry using Fluo-3fluorescence (arbitrary units) in control and Scott cells after 48 or 72 h of apoptosis induction by calcium ionophore A23187 (200 nM) or/and SKF 96365 (10 μM), in the absence and presence of the caspase inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO (50 μM). Values are the mean ± SEM of 4 independent experiments.
