Time course change of cytochrome oxidase (COX) enzymatic activity and transcription level of cytochrome oxidase subunit II (COXII) gene at progressive differentiation stages. (a) Quantitative analysis enzymatic activity. (b) The expression level of COXII is related to S16 mRNA gene level. Results from PCR real-time analysis were compared with the ANOVA test, followed by a post hoc test using Tukey’s multiple comparison test. The threshold of significance for the ANOVA and the Tukey’s test was fixed at * ; ** .
