Capsaicin Alleviates the Deteriorative Mitochondrial Function by Upregulating 14-3-3η in Anoxic or Anoxic/Reoxygenated Cardiomyocytes

Figure 4

Effects of Cap treatment on mitochondrial bioenergetics and glycolytic activity of cardiomyocytes during A/R injury. (a, b) Western blot and graphic of 14-3-3η, NDUFB8, and UQCRC2. (c, d) Effects of Cap on OCR. Cap pretreatment increased mitochondrial respiration following injury. (e, f) Effects of Cap on ECAR. Cap pretreatment decreased lactate accumulation and extracellular acidification. Data are presented as (). A: vs. control group (anoxia); B: vs. anoxia group; C: vs. Cap+anoxia group; D: vs. control group (A/R); E: vs. A/R group; F: vs. Cap+A/R group.
