“…At varying concentrations of 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 µg/mL of JME, MMPT pore was induced in a concentration-dependent manner by 569 %, 570 %, 545 %, 520 % and 457% at 4, 8 12, 16 and 20 µg/mL and having the highest induction at the lowest concentration while JEE also induced the pore opening but was decreased when compared with JME with 392%, 273%, 237%, 205%, and 151% at 20, 12, 4, 8 and 16 respectively. The observed opening could be due to mitochondria injury according to Oyebode and co-workers ( Oyebode et al, 2021 ). In contrast to JME, the highest induction was observed at 20 µg/mL for the JEE ( Fig.…”
