https://www.selleckchem.com/products/agk2.html ther studies are needed to examine whether increased antioxidative capacity might be regarded as a compensatory mechanism due to free radicals' harmful effects.Oxidative stress can cause the excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and has various adverse effects on muscular mitochondria. Qiangji Jianli decoction (QJJLD) is an effective traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that is widely applied to improve muscle weakness, and it has active constituents that prevent mitochondrial dysfunction. To investigate the protective mechanism of QJJLD against hydrogen peroxide- (H2O2-) mediated mitochondrial dysfunction in L6 myoblasts. Cell viability was determined with MTT assay. Mitochondrial ultrastructure was detected by transmission electron microscope (TEM). ROS and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were analyzed by fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry. The superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity, and malondialdehyde (MDA) level were determined by WST-1, TBA, and DTNB methods, respectively. The mRNA and protein levels were measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot. The cell viability was decreased, and the cellular ROS level was increased when L6 myoblasts were exposed to H2O2. After treatment with QJJLD-containing serum, the SOD and GSH-Px activities were increased. MDA level was decreased concurrently. ROS level was decreased while respiratory chain complex activity and ATP content were increased in L6 myoblasts. MMP loss was attenuated. Mitochondrial ultrastructure was also improved. Simultaneously, the protein expressions of p-AMPK, PGC-1α, NRF1, and TFAM were upregulated. The mRNA and protein expressions of Mfn1/2 and Opa1 were also upregulated while Drp1 and Fis1 were downregulated. These results suggest that QJJLD may alleviate mitochondrial dysfunction through the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics and biogenesis, the inhibition of ROS gene
