Reintroduction of StarD7 into StarD7-KO C2C12 cells restored mitochondrial respiration. The real-time oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of WT + EV, KO + EV, and KO + StarD7 C2C12 cells in proliferation condition was determined using a Seahorse XFp analyzer. (a) Raw data of OCR, (b) basal respiration, proton leak, ATP-linked respiration (oligomycin-sensitive OCR), maximal mitochondrial respiration (FCCP–stimulated OCR), and reserve capacity. The OCRs were normalized against the total amount of cellular protein. Values shown are means ± S.D. ***P < 0.001 as compared with WT + EV cells, and †††P < 0.001 as compared with KO + EV cells (one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test).
