Mitochondrial respiratory variables (a; basal respiration (a i.); maximal respiration (a ii.); spare capacity (a iii.); ATP production (a iv.); proton leak (a v.); non-mitochondrial O₂ consumption (a vi.)), membrane potential (b i.) and ROS production (b ii.) of rat splenocytes isolated from healthy rats or after 24 h of sepsis. Each symbol represents one rat. Blue circles: naïve; red squares: septic controls; purple triangles: septic butyrate-treated. Bar at median. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
