Figure 8

Mitochondrial depolarization in liver (a), (c) and brain (b), (d) of rats exposed to MeHg and/or (PhSe)2. Figures (a) and (b) show mitochondrial membrane potential (AFU). Figures (c) and (d) show mitochondrial ΔΨm. ΔΨm1 = delta of fluorescence before (time 0) and after addition of mitochondria (time 150 seconds) and ΔΨm2 = delta of fluorescence before (time 150 seconds) and after addition of 2,4 DNP (time 300 seconds). Data are expressed as mean ± S.D., .
