Fig. 5.
Energy expenditure for protein biosynthesis in control (sham) and BaP-exposed liver cells of Trematomus loennbergii (n = 8, plain bars) and Chionodraco hamatus (n = 6, striped bars) assayed at 0 °C. Protein biosynthesis is displayed as % of control (sham) respiration. The # depicts a significant difference (unpaired t-test, t6 = 3.536, p = 0.012) to Chionodraco hamatus at the respective assay conditions. The asterisk displays a significant difference (unpaired t-test, t4 = 2.163, p = 0.048)) to the protein biosynthesis in BaP-exposed liver cells of Trematomus loennbergii. Values are means ± sem
