Fig. 6. Effects of cadmium concentration on C. virginica mitochondrial
volume in vitro. Changes in mitochondrial volume were monitored as a
change in absorbance of mitochondrial suspension at 520 nm at 25°C after
20 min of incubation with varying concentrations of cadmium (+Cd) and after
subsequent addition of ADP (+ADP). Mitochondrial swelling in hypo-osmotic
medium (375 mOsm, Hyp) was used as a positive control. This method only
provides qualitative data about the relative change of mitochondrial volume
(swelling vs contraction). Values are means ±
S.E.M., N=5.
