MMP was determined as the percentage of mitochondrial rhodamine 123 reuptake between control and treated cells. Results are expressed as mean ± S.E. of three separate experiments.
a Significantly lower than control (p < 0.05).
bSignificantly higher than sumatriptan treated hepatocytes (p < 0.05).
cSignificantly lower than sumatriptan treated hepatocytes (in comparison with GSH depleted cells) (p < 0.05).
