In CBMSC, particularly LL-CBMSC, glucose shortage induces the increase in expression of OXPHOS genes. CBMSC were collected and analyzed after 48 hours of growth in glucose shortage (0.5 mM glucose as initial concentration). qPCR analysis of mRNAs encoding for OXPHOS proteins (A) or glycolytic enzymes (B). (C) Analysis of glucose consumption. Mean and standard deviation are represented; ns, not statistically significant; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, (Student’s t-test; glucose shortage vs. standard condition).
