Quantitative analysis of mitochondrial network characteristics showed similar results: in Nrf2-siRNA-treated cells, GAS pretreatment did not ameliorate the decrease in mitochondrial footprint, mean branch length, or median branch length induced by H 2 O 2 (Fig. 7c) . Knockdown of Nrf2 expression attenuated the effects of GAS on H 2 O 2 -induced mitochondrial dysfunction As shown in Fig. 9a , in negative control cells, H 2 O 2 treatment induced a considerable decrease in mitochondrial respiration potency, while GAS pretreatment partly ameliorates the H 2 O 2induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Importantly, in Nrf2-siRNA-treated cells, H 2 O 2 treatment also induced a considerable decrease in mitochondrial respiration potency, but GAS pretreatment did not ameliorate the H 2 O 2induced mitochondrial dysfunction (Fig. 9a) . ./cache/cord-013567-qnp65w53.txt ./txt/cord-013567-qnp65w53.txt
