Macroautophagy and Selective Mitophagy Ameliorate Chondrogenic Differentiation Potential in Adipose Stem Cells of Equine Metabolic Syndrome: New Findings in the Field of Progenitor Cells Differentiation

Figure 9

Analysis of the ROS, NO, and SOD activity in chondrocytes precursors. The ROS levels during chondrogenesis were similar in both investigated groups (a). Nitric oxide (NO) concentration was increased in ASCEMS, but only at day 7 it was statistically important. Antioxidative protection coming from SOD was also reduced in those cells, especially after day 10. Results are expressed as mean ± SD. , .
