Protein expression and mitochondrial content. (A) Fluorescent protein expression of C2C12 cells treated with 0.5% BR by volume for 24 hours. (B) Quantification of PGC-1α and AMPK Western blots. (C) Mitochondrial content indicated by group mean log fluorescence measured by flow cytometry of C2C12 cells treated with0.5%, 0.25%, or 0.125% BR by volume for 24 hours. (D) Cell viability of C2C12 cells treated with BR beverage containing nitrate at various concentrations for 24 hours. AMPK = 5′ adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase; BR = beetroot; PGC-1α = proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha. Note. Data are presented as group mean ± standard deviation. *p < 0.05.
