Figure 5. Selenite enhances mitochondrial respiration in HT22 cells.

A, a typical recording of oxygen content reduction in non-selenium- (red curve) and selenium-treated (green curve) cells ; B, a respiration rate in non-treated (red) and selenium-treated (green) HT22 cells; C, summarized mitochondrial respiratory rate obtained from 3 independent experiments in non-selenium treated (Se−ve) and selenium treated (Se+ve) cells. Values are means±s.d. *** p<0.001 by t-test.
