Hepatocytes (106 cells/mL) were incubated in Krebs–Henseleit buffer pH 7.4 at 37◦C for 1.0 h following the addition of EC502h of cumene hydroperoxide and glyoxal. Mitochondrial membrane potential was determined as the difference in mitochondrial uptake of the rhodamine 123 between control and treated cells and expressed as fluorescence intensity unit. Our data were shown as the percentage of mitochondrial membrane potential collapse (%ΔΨm) in all treated (test) hepatocyte groups (Andersson et al., 1987).
Values are expressed as mean±SD of three separate experiments (n=5).
Significant difference in comparison with control hepatocytes (P < 0.05).
Significant difference in comparison with cumene hydroperoxide or glyoxal treated hepatocytes (P < 0.05).
