Fluorescence of ROS in GCs of the three groups. a The green fluorescence of ROS in GCs was observed under a fluorescence microscope. Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI. a1: POR-GH group, a2: POR-C group, a3: non-POR group. b The fluorescence intensity of ROS is expressed as the fold change relative to the control. Measured by spectrophotometry, the fluorescence intensity of ROS (2.36 ± 0.32 vs. 1.00 ± 0.23) was significantly higher in the POR-C group than in the non-POR group (P < 0.05). GH significantly lowered ROS intensity in the POR-GH group (1.83 ± 0.38 vs. 2.36 ± 0.32) (P < 0.05)
