Omega-3 incorporation into mitochondrial membranes does not alter maximal mitochondrial respiration (A), the expression of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) proteins (B), mitochondrial pyruvate kinetics, (C) or the apparent K_m for pyruvate (D). Values were compared before (Pre) and after (Post) 12 weeks of omega-3 supplementation. Non-ADP-stimulated (pyruvate + malate; PM), ADP-stimulated (PMD), maximal complex I supported respiration (PMDG) and maximal coupled respiration (PMDGS) were not different after supplementation. Values represent means ± SEM. n = 18.
