A Oxygen consumption by CI after addition of ADP, glutamate and malate (GM), CI + CII after addition of Succinate (GMS) and complex II alone after addition of the CI inhibitor rotenone (ROT). N = 6 independent biorepeats. Error bars indicate standard error of the mean (SEM). B Oxygen consumption by CI after addition of ADP, glutamate, malate, and pyruvate (GMP), CI + CII after addition of succinate (GMPS), CI + CII + G3P after addition of glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P), and residual oxygen consumption after inhibiting mitochondria with antimycin A (AA). N = 4 independent biorepeats. Error bars indicate SEM. C Data from Fig. 3B were calculated as a relative contribution of CI, CII, and CIII to total respiration, which is set as 100% for the young DD control. Statistical analysis by 2-way ANOVA, (*p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001). Error bars indicate SEM.
