Mitochondrial respiration is increased in the TGs of male and female mice at 24 h following repeated restraint stress. A, B, Mitochondrial OCRs were measured for females (A) and males (B) from which several metabolic parameters were calculated. C, D, Overall, male mice exhibited an increase in basal respiration (C) levels while both sexes were found to have increased levels of maximal respiration (D), indicating that stress increases respiration rates in TG mitochondria (n = 3 replicate runs). Data are represented as the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05.
