Capsaicin Protects Cardiomyocytes against Anoxia/Reoxygenation Injury via Preventing Mitochondrial Dysfunction Mediated by SIRT1

Figure 5

Effects of Cap pretreatment with or without coadministration of sirtinol on the opening of mPTP in the cardiomyocytes induced by A/R. (a) The changes in absorbance at 520 nm during 20 min. (b) The total variation in absorbance at 520 nm in 20 min (ΔOD = A520 0 min − A520 20 min). Values were expressed as the mean ± SEM (). versus the control group; ▲▲ versus the A/R group; ## versus the Cap + A/R group.
