Figure 2.
Rate of mitochondrial oxidation (a) and retinal oxygenation (b) measured at t = 15 min for all the subjects with age (N = 30). (a) There is a mild-moderate age-related decline in CCO oxidation rate (rate of change in concentration of oxidized cytochrome-c-oxidase (Δ[oxCCO]) in dark (Pearson correlation coefficient R = −4 and coefficient p value, p = 0.03). (b) Rate of hemoglobin oxygenation (rate of change in hemoglobin difference (Δ[HbDiff])) has a mild positive association with age which is not statistically significant (Pearson correlation coefficient R = 0.3 and coefficient p value, p = 0.06).
