ROS was quantified using 2′,7′ –dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFDA) fluorescence (Sigma-Aldrich, D6883, St Louis, MO, USA) normalized to cell number [14 (link),17 (link)]. Twenty-five mM glucose (Sigma Aldrich, D8270) and 50 µM tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide (TBHP) (Sigma Aldrich, 416665) were used as positive controls. The free radical scavenger Tempol (50 µM; Sigma Aldrich SML0737) was used to manipulate ROS generation and served as a control [14 (link)].
