Activities of the respiratory chain complexes I and IV in isolated mitochondria of young, aged, and aged mice fed with POS determined using an Oxygraph-2k; , mean ± SEM. GPx-1 was measured in brain homogenate using a calorimetric kit;  ± SEM. CS activity was measured in isolated mitochondria;  ± SEM.
