Mitochondrial oxidative stress in H9C2 cells subjected to different treatments. (a) Representative images of H9C2 cells stained with 5-(and-6)-chloromethyl-2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate, acetyl ester (CM-H₂DCFDA). (b) The graph indicates fluorescence intensity per cell (○, open circle) of the representative images. (c) The graph indicates the total CM-H2DCFDA intensity; AU: arbitrary unit; Con: normal control; HR: hypoxia/reoxygenation; NEC: HR + NecroX-5; LIQ60: HR + LIQ at a dose of 60 μM; vs. Con; vs. HR; n = 3 ÷ 5; scale bar 100 μm.
