Fig 5. Mitochondrial changes in the Dau-treated heart.

Fig 5

(A-B) Representative electron microscopic images of LV from Dau-treated and control hearts. Mitochondrial number and size were decreased after 9w Dau treatment when compared to mitochondria in control rabbit hearts. Scale bar = 2 μm (n = 14–17 and n = 41–53) (C) Western Blot of mitofusin-1, Opa-1, prohibitin and DRP-1 in LV from Dau-treated and control hearts. (D) Quantification of (C), n = 4–6, respectively. *p<0.05, ***p<0.001. LV, left ventricle; GAPDH, Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase; NS, not significant.
