Respiration rates of flight muscle mitochondria isolated from of flies harboring siII and siIII mtDNA type with pyruvate and proline as substrate. A. Flies with siIII mtDNA showed higher state 3 respiration. B. State 4 respiration rates are higher in siIII flies and are highest on day 11 in both groups. Bars show mean ± S.E.M of four to six independent mitochondrial preparations. Mean values were significantly different (P< 0.05, post-hoc students ‘t” test) from *: siII mtDNA, a: day 11(within mtDNA type).
