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

Figure 5

Cap improves mitochondrial function in cardiomyocytes exposed to anoxia or A/R injury. (a, b) Fluorescent dye JC-1 indicating MMP level was detected by flow cytometry, and the ratio of red/green fluorescence is represented. (c, d) Fluorescent probe BBcellProbe M61 indicating mPTP opening was detected by flow cytometry, and column chart of average fluorescence intensity values is shown. (e, f) Western blot and graphic of cyt C level in the cytosol/mitochondria. 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.
