Effects of Copper and/or Cholesterol Overload on Mitochondrial Function in a Rat Model of Incipient Neurodegeneration
Figure 2
Cholesterol (Cho) and total phospholipids (measured as total inorganic phosphate or Pi) ratio (Cho/Pi) in brain cortex and hippocampus homogenates (ng/mg total protein). Samples were analyzed as indicated in Section 2.7. Treatments are indicated with different colors, control (white bars), Cu (black bars), Cho (gray bars), and CuCho (dark gray bars). Results are expressed as mean of 10 rats assayed in triplicate ± standard deviation (SD). Significant differences among the experimental groups are indicated with superscript letters (values with distinct letters are significantly different between them, ).
