Determination of OXPHOS activity by monitoring oxygen consumption rates (OCR) and extracellular acidification rates (ECAR). After monitoring basal respiration, oligomycin (1 µM), uncoupler FCCP (trifluoromethoxy carbonylcyanide phenylhydrazone; 0.5 µM), rotenone, and antimycin A (Rot, 0.5 µM; AA, 0.5 µM) were added at the indicated times to determine CV‐linked respiration, maximum respiration, and OXPHOS‐specific oxygen consumption, respectively. OCR and ECAR were determined with an automatic flux analyzer (96XF, Seahorse/Agilent). ˜30,000 cells per well were seeded the day before measurement. Cells were supplied with high glucose (25 mM, HGlc), low glucose (5.6 mM), or galactose (10 mM, Gal) for 3 weeks. OCRs were in addition normalized on the relative mitochondrial mass. The error bars denote SEM.
