Dietary Omega-3 Fatty Acids Do Not Change Resistance of Rat Brain or Liver Mitochondria to and/or Prooxidants
Figure 5
Omega-3 PUFA enriched diet does not affect liver mitochondria respiratory parameters. Respiratory parameters were measured in different metabolic states state 2 (), state 3 (), state 4 (), FCCP-stimulated respiration (). (a) 5 mM succinate +1 μM rotenone (1 μM) was used to stimulate respiration initiated at complex II; (b) The effect of diets on RCRs measured on succinate + rotenone. 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.
