Screening SIRT1 Activators from Medicinal Plants as Bioactive Compounds against Oxidative Damage in Mitochondrial Function

Figure 3

Effects of SIRT1 activators on mitochondrial oxygen consumption. (a) Respiration rates of H9c2 cells, t-BHP injured cells, and t-BHP injured cells preincubated with F1, Rc, and Sch A. (b) Representative curves of oxygen consumption recorded by the Clark-type oxygen electrode, and t-BHP injured cells were preincubated with Rb2. (c) In the presence of EX527, the effect of ginsenoside Rb2 was blocked. Each bar represented the mean ± SD of triplicate experiments. Compared with t-BHP group, . Compared with t-BHP + Rb2 + EX527 group, .
