Figure 6

Palmitate treatment in myotubes activated fusion/fission. Fusion and fission markers in C2C12 myotubes treated with palmitate for 4, 8, or 24 hours. Cell lysates were fractionated to prepare a mitochondrial-enriched fraction for immunoblotting for Mitofusion 2 (Mfn2) (A), mitochondrial fission factor (MFF) (B) and DRP1 (C). Images below graphs are representative blot images. Protein targets in the mitochondrial fraction are normalized to Vdac abundance as a mitochondrial protein control. Panels (B, C) contain the same Vdac image because the targets are from the same membrane. Data are means ± SD; n=5-6. Two-way ANOVA was used to test for effects of diet and time. P values are main effects.
