Preserved content of mitochondrial complexes in diaphragm muscle fibers. (A) Typical example of a Western blot with MitoProfile antibody cocktail of the five complexes. Lanes 1 and 2, diaphragm homogenates of critically ill patients; lane 3, rat heart homogenate (loading control); lanes 4 and 5, diaphragm homogenates of control patients. (B) Quantification of protein content of mitochondrial complexes. Protein content was not lower in diaphragm muscle fibers of critically ill patients (analysis of variance, interaction effect P = 0.56). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. AU = arbitrary units; CI = complex I; CII = complex II; CIII = complex III; CIV = complex IV; Crit. ill = critically ill; CV = complex V.
