After 24 hours, the media was changed and one set of wells were trypsinized and counted with a hemocytometer to determine starting concentration of cells.
The colorimetric change of each well was determined at an optical density of 405 nm on a Thermomax Microplate reader, and the data were analyzed using the SOFTmax analytical software program (Molecular Devices) and Microsoft Excel.

The patients were also asked to observe and report any changes of well-being and to recall if any slight traumatic events such as ankle sprain had occurred in the past years.
It is thought that these physiological and behavioral changes may well be of relevance for the clinical effects of exercise in patients suffering from stress-related mental disorders [7] [9], [16], [17].
Our results suggest that genotypic difference and ACTH action may produce relatively small changes in transcript accumulation but these small changes could well be of physiological significance [ 32].
Employee well-being: pre post changes in levels of well-being were assessed by the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS), 29 a 14-item scale assessing positive mental health.
