RAN action on mitochondria in C2C12 myoblasts. We analyzed RAN action on mitochondria and ROS levels during the proliferation phase utilizing a specific staining procedure: a b, c MITO CytoPainter staining (40X): in all proliferative phases (a 24 h, b 48 h, c 72 h), RAN did not modify the number of mitochondria compared with control (GM and DM) as shown in quantification (e). d Cell Rox® staining (20X): RAN appears to be able to decrease ROS synthesis in the basal state (f) and after H2O2-induced oxidative stress
