Blue native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for control vs. gestational TiO2-exposed animals at the young adult (6-12 wk) stage
| Electron Transport Chain | Optical Density | Control Average ± SE | Exposed Average ± SE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Complex I | AU | 8.69 ± 1.66 | 8.61 ± 2.26 |
| Complex II | AU | 7.02 ± 1.07 | 6.58 ± 1.98 |
| Complex III | AU | 9.80 ± 1.10 | 10.2 ± 2.45 |
| Complex IV | AU | 10.6 ± 0.27 | 9.83 ± 1.82 |
| Complex V | AU | 8.59 ± 0.76 | 8.66 ± 2.00 |
Values are averages ± SE for each measure; n = 3 control and n = 4 gestational TiO2-exposed animals. Complex I (P = 0.94), complex II (P = 0.74), complex III (P = 0.82), complex IV (P = 0.5), and complex V (P = 0.96) were evaluated and found to be statistically insignificant.
