Protection of mitochondrial function in colon by BBR. a Total ATP level in the fresh colon tissue. b Complex activities of mitochondria. The complex activity was determined by the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) in response to the inhibitors in mitochondria isolated from the fresh colon tissue. The order of inhibitor injection was rotenone, succinate, antimycin A, and ascorbate plus N,N,N9,N9-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD). c Mean value of maximal OCR in the complex assay. d Respiratory control rate (RCR). This was performed with complex II substrate succinate and complex I inhibitor rotenone. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM (n = 6). *P < 0.05 HFD versus NCD, #P < 0.05 HFD + BBR versus HFD
