| G/M | 423.44±25.7 | 394.38±22.7 | 454.06±27.5 |

Skeletal muscle mitochondria (20 μg) were incubated with substrates (24 mM glutamate/malate (G/M) or succinate (S)), inhibitor (2.4 μM rotenone (R)) and DIPPMPO (50 mM) for 10 min at 37°C. Fatty acid hydroxide (FA-OH), or fatty acid hydroperoxide (FA-OOH) were added at the final concentration of 0.75 μM. Units are in relative intensity/20 μg protein. Values are in mean ± S.E.M. Statistical significance was assessed by one-way ANOVA with Newman Keul’s multiple comparison test (n = 6). Subs/Inhibit = substrates/inhibitors.
