Effects of Na2S4 on cellular energy metabolism. (a) Mouse MIN6 cells were cultured from 1 h to 4 h with 25 µM Na2S4 prior to determination of the cellular ATP level (n = 3) under 2 mM or 20 mM glucose conditions. (b,c) Mouse MIN6 cells were exposed to Na2S4 (0, 1.5, 3.1, 6.2, 12.5, 25 and 50 µM) for a period of 4 h, followed by oxygen consumption rate (OCR) assay (b) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) assay (c) (n = 9). Differences between treatments were evaluated by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s test for multiple comparisons; #P < 0.05, as compared to the control cell population (Na2S4 0 µM, glucose 20 mM). *P < 0.05 for comparison of the indicated groups.
