Effects of ACT on mitochondrial function in LPS-treated BV-2 cells. (A) Ultrastructural changes in the different groups of BV-2 cells under the transmission electron microscopy. a, normal nucleus. b, nucleus chromatin condensation. c, normal mitochondria. d, mitochondrial cristae disarranged or even disappeared. e, swollen and vacuolated mitochondria. (B) The representative images and bar graph of JC-1 red and green fluorescence ratio. (C) Bar graph showing quantified statistics of ATP level. (D) The representative images of DCFH-DA staining and bar graph of intracellular ROS production. (E) ACT distinctly decreases the protein and mRNA levels of PGC-1α. (F) ACT distinctly decreases the protein and mRNA levels of UCP-2. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.005, versus the LPS group. n = 3.
