Data shown are mean ± S.E.M. in N = 7 for 3 week n-3 PUFA diet and N = 5 for 14 week n-3 PUFA diet. High Fat Control diet (HFC). Rates of respiration are in presence of 5 mM pyruvate/2 mM malate (P/M); P/M + 5 mM ADP (P/MADP); P/MADP + 5 mM glutamate, 5 mM succinate (P/M/G/SADP); P/M/G/SADP + 1 μM Rotenone (P/M/G/SADP + Rot); 100 μM palmitoyl-L-carnitine/2 mM malate (PC/M); PC/M + 5 mM ADP (PC/MADP); Respiratory Control Ratio (RCR)
