Res and oxy-Res were incubated for 0–7 days in media, which contained 3.7 g/L sodium bicarbonate and antibiotics for DMEM, 2.2 g/L sodium bicarbonate, 0.1 mM nonessential amino acids, and antibiotics for MEM with 10% FBS and pyruvate (1 mM) at 37°C in a CO2 incubator supplied with 5% CO2. The remaining levels of Res and oxy-Res (%, related to the peak area on day 0) were determined by HPLC. Values (mean ± standard deviation; ) in the same column without a common letter are significantly different ().
