Omega-3 PUFA enriched diet does not affect liver mitochondria respiratory parameters. Respiratory parameters were measured in different metabolic states state 2 (V ₂), state 3 (V ₃), state 4 (V ₄), FCCP-stimulated respiration (V _unc). (a) 5 mM succinate +1 μM rotenone (1 μM) was used to stimulate respiration initiated at complex II; (b) The effect of diets on RCRs measured on succinate + rotenone. The data are expressed in μmol O₂/min/mg protein and are the mean ± SEM, n = 6. Statistical significance in oxygen consumption between tested samples was determined by a two-sample t-test.
