Short exposure to H2O2 induces a decrease of population doubling in a dose-dependent manner, but does not affect the cell viability in HEI-OC1 cells. a Population doubling time. Population doubling experiments were performed in duplicate. b Cell viability. Cell viability was determined by trypan blue staining at the indicated times after short exposure (1 h) with H2O2 (0 μM, 100 μM, 300 μM, and 1 mM). All values are showed as mean ± SD from three or more independent studies, n = 6 per group. *P < 0.05
