Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester Reduces Ischemia-Induced Kidney Mitochondrial Injury in Rats

Figure 2

Effects of ischemia on renal mitochondrial state 3 respiration rate with succinate as substrate. Mitochondrial respiration rate was measured as described in Materials and Methods using 15 mM succinate (+2 mM amytal) as substrates. V3: state 3 respiration rate in the presence of 1 mM ADP; V3 + cyt c: state 3 respiration rate in the presence of 32 μM cytochrome c. Each column represents the mean ± SEM of 4 independent experiments; versus control; # versus V3 of respective group.
