Table I.

The effects of metabolic inhibitors and uncoupler on the lung tissue surface FAD and NADH fluorescence signals of normoxic and hyperoxic rats.

Inhibitor/Uncoupler FAD % NADH %
Normoxic Hyperoxic Normoxic Hyperoxic
Rotenone 0.2 ± 0.2 −0.3 ± 0.3 20.2 ± 2.3 7.5 ± 1.0*
KCN −6.8 ± 1.6 −5.2 ± 0.5 21.7 ± 2.5 9.2 ± 1.2*
PCP 1.7 ± 0.8 −2.3 ± 1.4* −19.7 ± 2.1 −20.8 ± 1.2
PCP + KCN −9.3 ± 1.0 −4.2 ± 0.7* 25.7 ± 2.6 9.0 ± 1.0*
Rotenone + KCN −3.3 ± 0.8 −3.8 ± 0.6 4.6 ± 1.0 2.8 ± 1.2

Values are mean ± SE. For the (PCP + KCN) and (rotenone + KCN) treatments, the percentage change due to additional treatment with KCN is calculated relative to the new baseline in the presence of PCP or rotenone, respectively. For normoxic lungs, n = 5, 7, 6, 6, and 5 for rotenone, potassium cyanide (KCN), pentachlorophenol (PCP), PCP + KCN, and rotenone + KCN, respectively. For hyperoxic lungs, n = 4, 5, 6, 5, and 4 for rotenone, KCN, PCP, PCP + KCN, and rotenone + KCN, respectively.
