Figure 8. Antioxidant mRNA is up-regulated following LPS exposure and blocked by the antioxidant NAC in human primary myotubes.

Figure 8

Human primary myotubes were treated with 50 pg/mL of LPS with and without NAC for 2 hours. (A) Uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) mRNA following LPS exposure in the presence and absence of NAC. (B) Mitochondrial/ manganese superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) mRNA levels following LPS exposure in the presence and absence of NAC. Data are presented as means ± SD. a indicates significantly different from control –NAC, p < 0.05. b, significantly different from LPS –NAC, p <0.05.
