Leak respiration (Le ak), i. e., O 2 consumption necessary to compensate for the proton leakage, slipping, and cationexchange along the inner mitochondrial membrane; maximal oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos); and maximal O 2 uptake in the uncoupled state (ETS) in immediate post-mortem liver biopsies of animals undergoing hemorrhage and resuscitation treated with vehicle and Na 2 S infusion started simultaneously with the initiation of blood withdrawal. For protocol details, see [30]. All data are mean ± SD of O2 uptake in pmol/s/mg tissue; dark blue columns: vehicle, n = 9; light blue columns: Na2S, n = 10.
