Inhibition of TG-sensitive SERCA1a Ca2+ ATPase activity by selected HOCs of marine origin. (A) Representative traces showing the oxidation of NADH in the coupled enzyme assay was monitored by measuring absorbance at 340−400 nm. Veh (0.1% DMSO), TG (thapsigargin, 20 μM) or a HOC was added into separate reactions cuvettes before addition of NADH and Na2ATP to initiate the reactions. The oxidation rate of NADH in the presence of TG, Veh or test compounds were summarized in bar graph (B−G). Two different microsomal (JSR) preparations were used to calculate the summary data for each group, and each performed in triplicates or quintuplicates. Data shown as Mean ± SD and statistical differences assessed by one-way ANOVA, followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test was performed using Graph Pad 7.03. * p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs Veh, ## p < 0.01 vs TG, and n.s. indicates no significant compared with Veh.
