Evaluation of mitochondrial function in PBMCs among individuals from F1957. (a) Intracellular ROS generation in controls and mutants. ROS levels were expressed as relative DCF intensity of controls (%). (b) ATP production in controls and mutants. ATP levels in mutants were normalized to the mean value of controls (%). (c) Mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) levels of each individual were measured by a fluorescence probe JC-1 assay system. The relative ratio of FL590/FL530 geometric mean was calculated to reflect the levels of ΔΨm. Three to four determinations were made for each individual. Data were expressed as the . The dash line represents the mean for the group of controls. Compared with control group, , ; compared with III-1, , .
