Magnesium Hydride Ameliorates Endotoxin-Induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome by Inhibiting Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Cell Apoptosis

Figure 2

Effects of MgH2 on oxidative stress in (AEC) damage following LPS exposure. (a) The cell viability of A549 cells after MgH2 treatment. Data are presented as mean ± SD. vs. 0 μM MgH2 group, vs. 0 μM MgH2 group. (b) Effects of MgH2 on the levels of intracellular ROS (400x) by fluorescence microscope. (c) and (d) Effects of MgH2 on the cellular mitochondrial membrane potential in A549 cells detected with JC-1 solution (400x). (e) and (f) Effects of MgH2 on the levels of mitochondrial superoxide (mitoSOX) in A549 cells with LPS stimulation (400x). Data are presented as mean ± SD. vs. the CON group, vs. the LPS group.
