MB forms a redox cycle between complex I and III. A and C, MB is a complex I substrate accepting electrons from NADH in a dose-dependent manner and is insensitive to rotenone inhibition. Activity with coenzyme Q1 was used as 100% control. **, significant difference between the indicated groups. B and D, reduced MB donates electrons to oxidized cyt c in a dose-dependent manner. ***, significant difference from the MB-only group. ROT, rotenone; CoQ1, coenzyme Q1. Top panels, representative assays (A and B). Bottom panels, quantitative analysis of the corresponding assay (C and D). Error bars, S.E.
