Fatty Acids in Energy Metabolism of the Central Nervous System
Figure 11
Oxygen consumption by rat (Sprague Dawley, 2010) brain mitochondria isolated without BSA oxidizing various substrates and their mixtures in different metabolic states. Experimental conditions as described in Figure 6. Metabolic states are shown in Figure 7. Substrates: glutamate 5 mM, malate 2 mM, pyruvate 2.5 mM, succinate 5 mM, and palmitoyl carnitine 25 μM. Numbers at the traces are respiratory activities in nmol/min/mg mitochondrial protein. Respiratory activity ratio (RCR) is /preceeding . Additions: brain mitochondria 0.3 mg, ADP 150 μM, CCCP 0.5 μM, and glutamate 5 mM.
