The mutation in mt-Nd2 is associated with alteration of tryptophan levels. (A) A ratio of NAD+ to NADH was measured in liver tissues of young (3 months old) female B6-mtBPL and B6-mtALR mice. No difference was observed (descriptive p = 0.3737, t-test). n = 9/strain. BPL: B6-mtBPL; ALR: B6-mtALR. (B) A region of the NMR spectra of a well-separated signal of tryptophan in B6-mtALR fibroblast cell line (red) and B6-mtBPL fibroblast cell line (black) is displayed. n = 5 (B6-mtALR cell lines), n = 7 (B6-mtBPL cell lines). (C) Tryptophan levels identified in panel B were quantified and compared between the groups. The mean value of the two signals was compared. Descriptive p = 0.0295, t-test.
