Fig. 5: Obesity impairs mitochondrial function in human MSCs.

Representative MitoSOX and tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester (TMRE) staining (A) and quantification of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production (B), membrane potential (C), and ATP generation (D) in Non-obese- and Obese-MSCs untreated or treated with Bobcat339 or dimethyl alpha-ketoglutarate (DMαKG) (nā=ā5 each). *p valueā<ā0.05 vs. non-obese-MSCs (untreated).
