Figure 3 Changes in the membrane potential of hepatocyte mitochondria. Fluorescence intensity (MFI) of Rh123 was 389.385% ± 18.612% in the normal control (NC) group, but decreased to 268.326% ± 13.526% in the high-fat group (HFD); and in PI3K and Akt blocker groups, MFI had a very similar change (211.326% ± 12.114%, 214.326% ± 13.321%, respectively), indicating a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential (Dym) in high-fat, PI3K and Akt blocker groups. aP < 0.05 vs NC group.
