Res at 200 μM was incubated for 0–7 days in DMEM, which contained 3.7 g/L sodium bicarbonate with 100 U/mL catalase or pyruvate (1 mM) at 37°C in a CO2 incubator supplied with 5% CO2. The remaining Res (%) levels related to the peak area of Res on day 0 were determined by HPLC. Values (mean ± standard deviation; ) in the same column without a common letter are significantly different ().
