Fig. 4From: H2O2-preconditioned human adipose-derived stem cells (HC016) increase their resistance to oxidative stress by overexpressing Nrf2 and bioenergetic adaptationMitochondrial respiration parameters. Seahorse XF Cell Mito Stress Test was performed in HC016 cells and hASCs under control conditions or after 0.25 mM H2O2 exposure. a Basal respiration. b Maximal respiration. c ATP-linked respiration. d Coupling efficiency. Mitochondrial morphology and MMP in HC016 cells and hASCs. e Confocal microscopy images of HC016 cells and hASCs labeled live with MitoTracker Red CMXRos (red, mitochondria). f MMP was quantified in a plate reader and normalized to cell number. At least three different independent experiments were performed, and results were expressed as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05Back to article page
