Differential metabolic effects of ODS and ODR plasma-derived exosomes on differentiated myotubes. Cellular respiration and extracellular acidification was measured in 7 day differentiated C2C12 myotubes in response to exosomes isolated from plasma samples pre (ODS n=9, ODR n=9) and 5 h post (ODS n=9, ODR n=8) HFM. (a) Representative Zetaview analysis of the size distribution of the vesicles. (b) Median sizes of the exosomes for ODS and ODR groups. (c, f) Cellular oxygen consumption rates (OCR) at rest, following oligomycin injection (3 μm; proton leak), and FCCP injection (2 μm; maximal respiration) with exosomes isolated from fasted (0 h) or post-HFM (5 h) respectively. (d, g) Extracellular acidification rates (ECAR) at rest, and following oligomycin and FCCP injection (maximal glycolysis) with exosomes isolated from fasted (0 h) or post-HFM (5 h) respectively. (e, h) Graph illustrating the metabolic flexibility from resting OCR and ECAR (left data points) and following oligomycin and FCCP injection (right data points). Data are mean±s.e.m., n=8–9, *P<0.05, **P<0.01.
