Fig. 4. Representative experimental traces of oxygen consumption by muscle
mitochondria from control lizard energised with succinate (for details, see
Materials and methods). (A) Mitochondrial state 4, state 3 (addition of 1 mmol
l–1 ADP) and state 4+ (addition of 1 µg
ml–1 oligomycin). (B) Effect of two sequential additions of 1
mmol l–1 GDP on state 4 mitochondrial oxygen consumption.
