Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of WIN55,212‐2 on oxidative stress and mitochondrial function in H9c2 cardiomyocytes and human cardiac fibroblasts. Quantification of DHE (a), B1R (b), CB1R (c), mitochondrial superoxide (MitoSOX, d), and mitochondrial membrane potential (TMRE, e) in H9c2 cardiomyocytes following WIN55,212‐2 treatment. WIN55,212‐2 in H9c2 cells increased oxidative stress, B1R, and CB1R expression, and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential. Corresponding quantification of DHE (f), B1R (g), CB1R (h), MitoSOX (i), and TMRE (j) in human cardiac fibroblasts. Unlike H9c2 cells, WIN55,212‐2 did not significantly alter TMRE in HCFs, despite increasing oxidative stress and receptor expression. Data are presented as mean ± SD. n = 3–6 independent cultures/group: One‐way ANOVA followed by Tukey's multiple comparisons.
