Fig. 5From: H2O2-preconditioned human adipose-derived stem cells (HC016) increase their resistance to oxidative stress by overexpressing Nrf2 and bioenergetic adaptationParameters of the glycolytic activity. Both HC016 cells and hASCs present a glycolytic phenotype as indicated by a percentage of proton efflux rate (PER, the number of protons exported by cells into the assay medium over time) from glycolysis. Preconditioning enhanced glycolytic metabolism after 0.25 mM H2O2 exposure as indicated by b basal glycolysis, c compensatory glycolysis, d HIF-1α expression, and e quantification normalized to Lamin A/C and normalized to levels in control hASCs (dotted line). At least three different experiments were performed. Data were expressed as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, compared with control hASCs, #p < 0.05Back to article page
