Effect of AAT on mitochondrial dysfunction. (A) AAT attenuated the inhibition of oxygen consumption rate (OCR) by cytokine treatment in human islets, and CPZ blocked human islets protective effect. The mean OCR/DNA (nmolO2/min·mg DNA) values were calculated and normalized to “fold change” against negative control. The mRNA expression of PGC1α (B), Bim (C) and NOS2 (D & E) was measured in human islets after incubation with cytokines for 6 or 24 h with or without AAT and/or CPZ pretreatments. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM from 3 independent experiments. * P < 0.05 by One-way ANOVA.
