Exercise-Induced Changes in Caveolin-1, Depletion of Mitochondrial Cholesterol, and the Inhibition of Mitochondrial Swelling in Rat Skeletal Muscle but Not in the Liver

Figure 1

Mitochondrial cholesterol levels in controlled and exercised animals. Cholesterol was measured in crude mitochondria isolated from the quadriceps (a) and liver (b). The data are presented as the means ± SE. There was a significant difference between the E (exercise) versus C (control) in the Quadriceps mitochondria versus the control rats ( in each group).
