Levels of ATP in control and AA AgNP treated A549 cells. Cellular ATP levels were detected by the ATP CellTitre Glo assay (Promega, Madison, USA). A significant decline in ATP was noted after treatment with AAAgNP (350000 ± 1500RLU; 95% CL = 330000 to 370000) compared to the control cells (990000 ± 40000RLU; 95% Cl = 480000 to 1500000; p = 0.0040). RLU: relative light units.
