Figure 4

Adjusted mitochondrial respiration. Mitochondrial respiration in permeabilized cells adjusted for (A) citrate synthase activity (CS) and (B) mitochondrial DNA content (mtDNA). The different respiratory states presented are explained in the Materials and methods section. Control ratios for maximal respiration of (C), the oxidative phosphorylation system (OXPHOS), and (D) electron-transfer system (ETS) calculated from mtDNA-adjusted respiration. Presented as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05.
