Figure 2. CoQ deficiency affects mitochondrial morphology in brown adipocytes.

Figure 2

(A) Brown adipocyte with vehicle (CTL) or 4CBA treatment were stained with MitoTracker deep red, bodipy and dapi and visualized using the Zeiss LSM710, scale bar = 20 µm. (B) The roundness and aspect ratio of the visualized mitochondria were assessed using Fiji from 2 independent experiments. (C) Phosphorylation of Drp1 was assessed and quantified using western blot, n = 6. (D) Mitochondrial morphology of brown adipocytes with treatment was visualized using TEM with the Tecnai-12, scale bar = 1 µm. (E) Cristae Length/Mito Perimeter of visualized mitochondria were assessed using Fiji from 3 independent experiments. Data information: (C) Data are mean ± SEM. (B, C, E) Results were compared using an unpaired two-tailed Student’s t test. Significance presented at **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001 compared to controls. Data describes biological replicates.
