Coenzyme Q10 reversed the HFD-reduced mitochondrial mass and respiratory complexes in aortic PVAT. A Mitochondrial mass (green, stained by MitoTracker) and representative gel and densitometric analyses of B mt CPX1, C mt CPX2, D mt CPX3, E mt CPX4-1, F mt CPX4-2, and G mt CPX5 in the aortic PVAT of the ND, HFD and HFD + Q groups at the age of 20 weeks. Values are the mean ± SEM, n = 14 for each group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 versus the ND group and #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001 versus the HFD group in the post hoc Tukey’s multiple range test. ND, normal diet, HFD, high fructose diet, HFD + Q, HFD with coenzyme Q10. mt CPX, mitochondrial respiratory complex subunit, β-actin as the internal control of Western blot analyses. Scale bars: 10 μm
