Flux Ratios (pmol/min/µg Protein) | Treatment | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Control | 0.001 | 0.009 | 0.067 | 0.5 | 3.7 | |
State apparent | 3.6 ± 0.1 | 3.5 ± 0.1 | 3.5 ± 0.1 | 3.7 ± 0.2 | 3.4 ± 0.1 | 3.5 ± 0.1 |
Respiratory control ratio | 6.96 ± 1.65 | 13.01 ± 0.79 # | 15.14 ± 1.84 ## | 11.99 ± 1.24 # | 11.38 ± 0.81 # | 4,90 ± 1.20 # |

The state apparent, respiratory control ratio (RCR) and coupling efficiency of H9c2 cells in the presence or absence of DMSO were derived from the mitochondrial parameters presented in Figure 3A,B. Data represents mean ± SEM; n = 6. Significance is indicated as # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 versus the control.
