Fig. 6. Effects of cadmium on respiration rate and coupling of isolated oyster mitochondria. State 3, ADP-stimulated respiration; state 4+, respiration in the presence of oligomycin (indicative of proton leak); RCR, respiratory control ratio of state 3 over state 4+ respiration. Vertical bars represent S.E.M. Asterisks, daggers and filled circles denote values of state 3, state 4+ respiration and RCR, respectively, which are significantly different from the control (P<0.05; N=5-6).
