SLIMP RNAi compromises mitochondrial respiration. The mitochondrial oxygen consumption profile from larvae under constitutive induction of RNAiSLIMP is displayed. Oxygen consumption values normalized by mitochondrial density show a decrease in the mitochondrial respiration for RNAiSLIMP strain 8-dcr2. All graphs give the average of consumed oxygen with S.E. (*, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01, ***, p < 0.001). A, graphs normalized according to the mtDNA relative copy number. FCCP, carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone. B, graph normalized by number of mitochondria in fat bodies (FB) determined by EM.
