Figure 4

Mitochondrial respiration. Respiration of permeabilized (a) control hepatocytes and (b) hepatocytes treated with 200 μmol/L EGCG for 10 minutes. Oxygen uptake is expressed as pmol oxygen/s/million cells. Abbreviations: hep, hepatocytes, dig, digitonin, G + M, glutamate + malate, ADP, adenosine diphosphate, Cyt c, cytochrome c, ROT, rotenone, and SUC, succinate.
