Figure Lengend Snippet: Metformin inhibits the activity of complex I and mitochondrial metabolism in three HO model mice. (A-C) Statistical analysis of complex I activity in myeloid cells from BMP4-dependent HO model mice (A), FOP model mice (B), and traumatic HO model (C) mice (n=5 per group). Data are presented as mean ± SD of biological replicates. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 (unpaired two-tailed t-test). (D-F) Statistical analysis of mitochondrial mass in myeloid cells from BMP4-dependent HO model mice (D), FOP model mice (E), and traumatic HO model (F) mice (n=5 per group). Data are presented as mean ± SD of biological replicates. n.s. indicates no significance (unpaired two-tailed t-test). (G-I) Statistical analysis of ROS production in myeloid cells from BMP4-dependent HO model mice (G), FOP model mice (H), and traumatic HO model (I) mice (n=5 per group). Data are presented as mean ± SD of biological replicates. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 (unpaired two-tailed t-test). (J-L) Statistical analysis of MMP in myeloid cells from BMP4-dependent HO model mice (J), FOP model mice (K), and traumatic HO model (L) mice (n=5 per group). Data are presented as mean ± SD of biological replicates. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 (unpaired two-tailed t-test).
