A Protective Strategy to Counteract the Oxidative Stress Induced by Simulated Microgravity on H9C2 Cardiomyocytes

Figure 5

Effects of 6 h or 12 h exposure to s-microgravity. (a) Actin filament length evaluation in cells at s-microgravity (RPM) or at 1 g (CTR). (b) Cellular height measurements. (c) Mitochondria morphology measurements. (d–f) Intracellular Ca²⁺, ROS, and O₂^⋅− levels, respectively. (g) Mitochondria membrane potential measurements. (h, i) Glucose and lactate concentrations in culture medium, respectively. Data are expressed as in Figures 1, 2, and 4 and are the from three independent experiments. vs. CTR, vs. CTR, and vs. CTR.
