Evolution of the exponential function parameters fitting the THz-ATR and fluorescence measurements of live MDCK cells exposed to electric pulses with different electric field magnitudes. (a) Plateau values CTHz and Cfluo for the THz-ATR and YO-PRO-1 fluorescence normalized signals. Dashed lines are guides for the eye. (b) Time constants of the THz-ATR (squares) and YO-PRO-1 fluorescence (circles) normalized signals calculated from the experimental data (black) or from the theoretical model (red). The error bar represents the standard deviation of the data set for each experimental condition (n ≥ 3). τ was not determined if the coefficient of determination (R2) between the model and the measurement was below 90%. The electric pulse parameters were fixed to 8 pulses, 100 μs and 1 Hz.
