Altered mitochondrial metabolism markers in the β-carotene oxygenase 2 (BCO2) knockout (KO) mouse liver at 6 weeks of age. (A–F) Metabolites related to the amino acid oxidation. (G–I) Metabolites associated with the TCA cycle. (J) Expression of mitochondrial metabolism-related proteins by immunoblotting, and (K) quantification of listed proteins. Values are means ± SD. Data was analyzed by one-way ANOVA. n = 6. Different letters indicate significant difference between groups. P-value ≤ 0.05 is considered as significant. BHBA, β-hydroxybutyrate; mTORC1, mammalian/mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1; CS, citrate synthase; ISCU, iron-sulfur cluster assembly enzyme; ATP5A1, ATP synthase, H+ transporting, mitochondrial F1 complex, alpha subunit 1; NDUFA9, NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit A9; WT, wild type; Het, BCO2 heterozygous mice; KO, BCO2 knockout mice.
