Effects of Mitochondrial Uncoupling Protein 2 Inhibition by Genipin in Human Cumulus Cells

Figure 2

Effects of UCP2 inhibited by Genipin on oxidative stress. (a) The level of ROS in CCs has an increasing tendency after UCP2 inhibiting. (b) The Mn-SOD activity has an increasing tendency after UCP2 inhibiting. (c) The MDA level has an increasing tendency after UCP2 inhibiting. (d) The ratio of reduced GSH to GSSG has a decline tendency after UCP2 inhibiting. Con means control, asterisks indicate significant difference between control and treatment group at .
