From: Methylene blue can act as an antidote to pesticide poisoning of bumble bee mitochondria
Effect of pesticides and MB on the mitochondrial respiration on ETC complex I substrates (the data are shown as mean ± SD, n = 6); Pyr pyruvate, Glu glutamate. Pesticides, MB and mitochondria (120 μg) were directly added to the oxygraph chamber. MB was added to the concentration of 2 μM. The concentration of the pesticide in oxygraph chamber see in Table 1, n = 6. *Statistically significant differences in the mitochondrial respiration rate in the absence and presence of pesticide, p < 0.001. **Statistically significant differences in the mitochondrial respiration rate in the presence of pesticide and pesticide + MB, p < 0.05.
