Dietary Omega-3 Fatty Acids Do Not Change Resistance of Rat Brain or Liver Mitochondria to and/or Prooxidants
Figure 3
Omega-3 PUFA enriched diet does not affect brain mitochondria respiratory parameters. (a and c) Respiration rates measured in different metabolic states state 2 (), state 3 (), state 4 (), FCCP-stimulated respiration (). (b and d) RCRs. In (a and b), glutamate/malate was used to stimulate respiration initiated at complex I; in (c and d), succinate and rotenone were used to stimulate respiration initiated at complex II. The data are expressed in μmol O2/min/mg protein and are the mean ± SEM, . Statistical significance in oxygen consumption between tested samples was determined by a two-sample t-test.
