A Western blot analysis of GRP78 and CHOP protein levels (n = 4). B JC-1 staining of mitochondrial membrane potential (left), and the ratio of JC-1 in the polarized or aggregate form (red) to the depolarized or monomer form (green) (right, n = 3). C The ROS level in NRCMs was evaluated with MitoSOX (0.5 mM; left), and the quantification of MitoSOX fluorescence from 100 cells of each independent experiment (right, n = 3). D The ATP content in NRCMs (n = 4). E Cardiomyocyte OCR changes examined by Seahorse XF 24 extracellular analyzer. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
