Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of CGA on the hepatic mitochondrial function of laying hens subjected to H 2 O 2 . ( A ) Mitochondrial structure (imaged by TEM, scale bar: 500 nm, red arrowheads depict mitochondria). ( B ) Western blot detection and quantification of MFN2 and VDAC1 ( n = 3, equal portions of 4 liver tissues were mixed into one sample). ( C ) Real-time PCR detection of IP3R , GRP75 , MCU , PGC1α , Fis1 , and MFF ( n = 12). a–c There is a significant difference in the columns with different superscript letters ( p < 0.05). * p < 0.05 vs. control (Student’s t -test). # p < 0.05 vs. H 2 O 2 group (Student’s t -test). Abbreviations: TEM, transmission electron microscopy; H 2 O 2 , hydrogen peroxide; MFN2, mitofusin 2; IP3R, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor; GRP75, glucose-regulated protein 75; VDAC1, voltage-dependent-anion channel 1; MCU, mitochondrial calcium uniporter; PGC1α, Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha; MFF, mitochondria fission factor; Fis-1, fission protein 1.
Article Snippet: The PVDF membrane was sealed with five percent skim milk and subsequently treated with rabbit anti-Mitofusin 2 (MFN2) antibody (12186-1-AP, Proteintech, Wuhan, China, dilution 1:5000), rabbit anti-VDAC1 antibody (55259-1-AP, Proteintech, Wuhan, China, dilution 1:2000), and rabbit anti-Tubulin β antibody (AP0064, Bioworld, Nanjing, China, dilution 1:5000).
