Cas treatments induce MPT opening. (a) Representative recording of Ca2+ retention capacity (CRC) experiment with isolated mitochondria from IC50 Cas-treated and Doxo (5 μM) hearts and (b) semiquantitative analysis of mitochondrial CRC in the presence of CsA (0.5 μM). Arrows indicate 10 μM pulses of Ca2+. Values are mean ± SEM. versus control; versus (A) Doxo, (B) II-gly, and (D) III-ia ( animals for each treatment, exception Doxo groups ()).
