Impact of MV on mitochondrial contents, respiration, hydrogen peroxide emission, glutathione reductase, and protein carbonyls in diaphragm. A) Respiratory control ratio (RCR) calculated by mitochondrial state 3 respiration/state 4 respiration, n = 9/group. B) Mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide emission n = 10/group. Values are mean ± SE. # p < 0.05 different from MVEx, δ p < 0.05 different from all groups. C) Diaphragm citrate synthase levels in diaphragm muscle used as a marker of mitochondrial volume, n = 8/group. D) Protein carbonyls, n = 10/group. E) Glutathione Reductase activity determined colorimetrically by measuring the rate of NADPH oxidation in diaphragm samples n = 7/group. Values are mean percent change of control ± SE. * p < 0.05 different from CON, # p < 0.05 different from MVEx, δ p < 0.05 different from all groups.
