... was employed to measure apoptosis. Loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP, ΔΨm) and cellular levels of ROS were measured by flow cytometry. qRT-PCR was used to analyze the expression of mRNAs. Western blotting assays were applied to measure the levels of proteins involved in different signaling pathways...

..., SalA decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in HepG2 cells. Furthermore, SalA improved hepatic and skeletal muscle mitochondrial function, increased ATP production, and concurrently decreased MMP. In particularly, SalA activated AMPK phosphorylation through Ca 2+ /calmodulin-dependent protein...

... of the hormone is poorly understood. In the present study, we focused on the mechanism by which ERK mediates this survival effect in connection with COXIV activity and mitochondrial membrane potential. Methods: Immunocytochemistry, Western blot, cytochrome c oxidase complex IV (COXIV) activity...

...-terminal homology (THATCH) domains of HIP1R greatly compromised its binding ability to BCL2L10. Ectopic expression of HIP1R resulted in moderate cell death of 293T cells in conjunction with the dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential and caspase 9 activation. A member of proapoptotic Bcl-2 family...
