Res at 200 μM was incubated for 0–7 days in minimum essential medium (MEM), which contained both or either 2.2 g/L sodium bicarbonate with 10% FBS (+FBS) and 1 mM pyruvate (+pyruvate) 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 ().
