Mitochondrial membrane potential of RBL cells. MMP response was measured in RBL cells after exposure to 0, 5, or 10 μM TCS or ± 1 μM CCCP for 1 hr in galactose media-BSA. Mean fluorescence intensity was determined by subtracting out appropriate controls and normalizing to 0 μM Control. Values presented are means ± SEM of at least four independent experiments; three to four replicates per experiment. Statistically significant results, as compared to the appropriate control (0 μM TCS or 0 μM CCCP + DMSO vehicle), are represented by * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, as determined by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test.
