Mitochondrial Respiration Is Decreased in Rat Kidney Following Fetal Exposure to a Maternal Low-Protein Diet

<table>Respiration rates in mitochondria from rat kidney. Respiration rates in state 3, state 4 and maximal respiration rates were determined in isolated mitochondria using an oxygen electrode. Duplicate measurements were performed on each preparation and averaged. Values are means ± S.E.M. from 5 independent preparations for each group. <svg height="15.4375" id="M3" style="vertical-align:-3.13504pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 79.275002 15.4375" width="79.275002" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
