Respiration of permeabilized cardiac fibers (J O2, per wet weight), and flux control ratios normalized for NS-ETS capacity. (a) Oxygen consumption measured at 37 °C in SUIT 2 protocol: GM (N-LEAK respiration; GML), ADP (N-OXPHOS capacity; GMP), cytochrome c (integrity of outer mt-membrane), pyruvate (N-OXPHOS capacity; PGMP), succinate (NS-OXPHOS capacity; PGMSP), FCCP (NS-ETS capacity; PGMSE), rotenone (Rot; inhibition of CI, S-ETS capacity; SE), malonic acid and antimycin A (Mna and Ama; less than 2% residual oxygen consumption, ROX). (b,c) ROX-corrected respiration at 37 °C and 4 °C: LEAK respiration and OXPHOS capacity with PM (SUIT 1, open boxes, n = 7 and 6 at 37 and 4 °C) or GM (SUIT 2, filled boxes, n = 16 and 8 at 37 and 4 °C). Note the switch of the flux control pattern for N-OXPHOS capacity (PMP vs. GMP). The two SUIT protocols merge at state PGMP, but results are shown separately (not significantly different). Flux control ratios are normalized relative to median PGMSE of the combined protocols. Box plots indicate the minimum, 25th percentile, median, 75th percentile, and maximum. *Significant differences between the two SUIT protocols for the same state. For abbreviations see Fig. 1.
