A Cistanches Herba Fraction/β-Sitosterol Causes a Redox-Sensitive Induction of Mitochondrial Uncoupling and Activation of Adenosine Monophosphate-Dependent Protein Kinase/Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor γ Coactivator-1 in C2C12 Myotubes: A Possible Mechanism Underlying the Weight Reduction Effect

Figure 7

Effects of BSS on PGC-1 nuclear translocation in C2C12 myotubes. Cells were preincubated with BSS for 8 h. The extent of PGC-1 nuclear translocation was determined by Western blot analysis. Data are expressed as percent control with respect to the corresponding non-BSS preincubated control. Values given are means ± SEM, with . ^*Significantly different from the unpreincubated control group; ^#significantly different from kCh preincubated, HCF1 unpreincubated control group ().
