Figure 4. JPYS improved mitochondrial function in premature ovarian failure (POF) rats. Rats were treated with JPYS (11.0 g/kg.d) and pre-treated with triptorelin (1.5 mg/kg) followed by intraperitoneally injected cyclophosphamide (50 mg/kg). (A) Electron microscope pictures (10,000×; 20,000×; 40 000×) of ovary in POF rats, the scale bars represents a length of 2 μm, 1 μm, and 500 nm on histology respectively. Abnormal mitochondrial (paired yellow arrow) morphology show that mitochondrial membrane rupture or swellings, normal mitochondrial (single yellow arrow) morphology type show that mitochondrial membrane smooth and inner carinulae distinct and percentage of damaged mitochondria; (B) The MMP (ratio of red/green), the opening of mPTP (%), the mitochondrial ROS, the mtDNA damage (ratio of long/short fragments), the mitochondrial RCR, mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate, the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex enzymes (I, II, III, IV, and V), and ATP were recorded above. Data are shown as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05 versus control group, ^#p < 0.05 versus POF group, ^△p < 0.05 versus JPYS group. (n=6).
