Age-Dependent Loss of Mitochondrial Function in Epithelial Tissue Can Be Reversed by Coenzyme Q₁₀

Figure 4

Influence of sampling location of biopsies on mitochondrial respiration. 16 hours prior to measurement, purified biopsies were stored overnight at 4°C in Dispase II. On the next day, the respiration profile of the separated dermis was analyzed with an XF analyzer. The range of age in both groups (HE and LE) was between 29 and 77 years (n = 6 highly exposed, n = 6 low exposed, linear regression, mean ± SEM, t-test, ).
