Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester Reduces Ischemia-Induced Kidney Mitochondrial Injury in Rats
Figure 4
Effect of ischemia on mitochondrial respiratory control index (RCI). Measurements were performed in the presence of 5 mM glutamate + 5 mM malate or 15 mM succinate (+2 mM amytal) as substrates. Mitochondrial respiratory control index (RCI), that is, the ratio between oxygen uptake rates in state 3 and routine respiration rate (RCI = V3/V0). Each column represents the mean ± SEM of 4 independent experiments; versus control; # versus ischemia alone.
