Protective Effects of Salidroside on Mitochondrial Functions against Exertional Heat Stroke-Induced Organ Damage in the Rat

Figure 4

Salidroside restored EHS-triggered decrease in Ca²⁺ concentration. (a) Ca²⁺ concentration was detected by inverted fluorescence microscope in hepatocytes and cardiomyocytes in the control group, high temperature group, exercise group, EHS group, and EHS + salidroside group (20, 50, and 100 μM). (b) Free Ca²⁺ concentration in hepatocytes in the control group, high temperature group, exercise group, EHS group, and EHS + salidroside group (20, 50, and 100 μM). (c) Free Ca²⁺ concentration in cardiomyocytes in the control group, high temperature group, exercise group, EHS group, and EHS + salidroside group (20, 50, and 100 μM). Results were expressed as the mean ± SEM. . , , and .
