Figure 5. Mitochondrial respiration, mitochondrial density, and fractional volume data across the groups.

Figure 5.

(A, B) Mitochondrial respiration state 3 represents the active phase of mitochondrial function with conversion of adenosine diphosphate into adenosine triphosphate. State 4 mitochondrial respiration is linked to the resting state of mitochondria. Administration of saline and empty virus after myocardial infarction was associated with a reduction in states 3 and 4. Using self-complimentary vector improved states 3 and 4 of respiration. (C). Mitochondrial fractional volume increased in the treated groups compared to control. (D) Mitochondrial density increased in the treated groups compared to control.
