Effects of hyperosmolarity on Caco-2 cells oxygen consumption. Seven days after seeding, cells were cultured in isosmotic or hyperosomotic (50% and 100%) culture media during 2- or 24-h and then isolated and used for basal oxygen (ST3) consumption measurement (A) without any exogenous agent, (B) after addition of the Fo/F1 ATPase inhibitor oligomycin and (C) after addition of the uncoupler FCCP. OXPHOS was calculated for the 2-h hyperosmotic stress and corresponds to the oxygen consumption rate measured in permeabilized cells in presence of 1.5 mM saturated ADP concentration (D). Values are from three independent experiments (n = 5–18 for each experimental group). Mean significant differences (P < 0.05) are indicated by a different letter. Main factor and interaction effects are indicated with *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001. NS: Non-significant difference.
