Re: Weird things you judge people for?
(Anonymous) 2015-01-16 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)One of the projects I've worked on involved testing a variety of natural compounds for their effects of mast cell degranulation (a cellular response related to allergic reactions). We would test each compound for effectiveness by itself and then combine the two together and test them.
Most of the time, the combined compounds would at best have an additive effect, where the total reduction in degranulation was equal to the reduction from compound A added to the reduction in compound B.
However! If you combined two compounds and degranulation was reduced by more than the effects of each compound separately added together, then a synergistic effect was present.
Like, mathematically:
Compound A = 2 units of reduction
Compound B = 1 unit of reduction
Additive: Compound A + Compound B = 3 units
Synergistic: Compound A + Compound B = 6 units
Basically, synergy is things interacting together to create a result that is greater than the sum of their parts or whatever.
(If any of the compounds were good, we'd send them up to the chemistry department to isolate all the chemical components.)
