Lymphocytes Mitochondrial Physiology as Biomarker of Energy Metabolism during Fasted and Fed Conditions

Figure 1

High-resolution respirometry of (a, c, e) lymphocytes and (b, d, f) muscle fibers obtained from control group (white bars) and 24 h-fasted group (black bars). Graphics show the maximally stimulated state 3 respiration during (a, b) fatty acid oxidation and (c, d) carbohydrate-linked oxidation. (e, f) Respiratory control ratio (RCR) calculated as state 3/state 4 respiration. Data are mean ± SEM. Asterisks denote significant difference (* 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 and *** 𝑃 < 0 . 0 0 1 ) from values for control group as calculated by Student’s 𝑡 -test.
