Co-treatment with doxorubicin (Dox) plus pinocembrin (Pin) improves mitochondrial respiration. (A) Mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate (OCR) (B) extracellular acidification rate (ECAR), (C) basal respiration, (D) ATP-linked respiration, (E) ATP turnover, (F) maximal respiration and (G) spare respiratory capacity Basal respiration was acquired after subtraction of non-mitochondrial respiration. ATP turnover measured by ATP-linked respiration subtracted from the basal OCR. Maximum respiration calculated by non-mitochondrial respiration subtracted from FCCP-stimulated OCR. Coupling efficiency was calculated as the fraction of basal mitochondrial OCR used for ATP synthesis (ATP-linked OCR/basal OCR). Results were analyzed using One-way Anova, student t-tests, or non-parametric tests where applicable. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM of 3 biological experiments with 6 technical repeats (n=9). Significance is indicated as ##p ≤ 0.01, ###p ≤ 0.001 versus the control; *p < 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001 versus Dox.
