Fig. 4. Temperature dependence of total reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation in
Mya arenaria mantle mitochondria under state 3 conditions (grey
columns) and under state 4+ conditions (hatched columns); N=6-7.
Values are means ± S.D. State 3, P<0.01
(KruskalWallis ANOVA); state 4+, P=0.062 (ANCOVA) and
P=0.032 (NewmanKeuls test), ABT, Arrhenius break temperature.
* indicates values significantly different from values at the
5°C lower experimental temperature in state 4+.
