Effect of LAA and glucose on energy metabolism in cachectic ascites‐treated H9c2 cardiomyoblasts. A, Cell proliferation in ascites‐treated H9c2 cells. B, Flux analysis of ascites‐treated H9c2 cells. C, Effect of LAA + Glc on mitochondrial respiration, ATP production, and proton leak. D, Effect of LAA + Glc on glycolytic activity (determined by ECAR measurement). E, Effect of LAA + Glc on cell energy phenotype profile. Error bars, standard error from 3 trials. The statistical significance was calculated by Student t test. C, control; ECAR, extracellular acidification rate; Glc, glucose; LAA, lauric acid; OCR, oxygen consumption rate
