Flow cytometry was used for quantitative analysis of mitochondrial membrane potential. A1: control group; A2: 5 μM of puerarin group; A3: 10 μM of puerarin group. B-C: percentages of cells in each quadrant are displayed in the histograms according to A. B: The higher proportion of cells in H2 quadrant indicates higher mitochondrial membrane potential; C: The higher proportion of cells in the H4 quadrant indicates lower mitochondrial membrane potential.
