Mitochondrial respiration rate measurements (A) and flux control factors (B) in right ventricular cardiac fibers using different energy substrates after administration of TMAO at a dose of 120 mg/kg for 14 weeks in a model of monocrotaline-induced right ventricle heart failure. The results are presented as the mean ± SEM of 6 animals. * Indicates a significant difference from the control group (one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett's post-test), # indicates a significant difference from the MCT group (unpaired t-test), p < 0.05. Flux control factor, the contribution of each substrate/pathway to the respiration rate; PC, palmitoylcarnitine; ADP, adenosine diphosphate; P, pyruvate; S, succinate; Rot, rotenone; AmA, antimycin A; F, fatty acid oxidation-dependent pathway; N, NADH pathway; LEAK, substrate-dependent state; OXPHOS, oxidative phosphorylation-dependent state; ROX, residual oxygen consumption.
