Influence of phenolic acids on mitochondrial swelling induced by iron ions and its elimination by BHT. Activation of the swelling of mitochondria during incubation with iron ions (50 µM FeSO₄) and phenolic acids at a concentration of 100 µM (a); changes in the swelling parameters in the presence of 50 µM FeSO₄ and phenolic acids in the concentration range 100–500 µM (b); and the elimination by BHT of swelling induced by 50 µM FeSO₄ alone (c) and with 100 µM ICA (d).
