β-CA RNAi does not alter mitochondrial function in fruit flies. a Mitochondrial oxygen consumption (nmol O2/s mg protein) from female and male Drosophila flies using P + Pr + ADP (CI + III + IV), G3P (CIII + IV) and Ascorbate + TMPD (CIV) as substrates. Number of experiments (n) per group is indicated, data are shown as the mean ± SEM. b) Mitochondrial density measured as citrate synthase activity (UNITS mg/ml of mitochondrial protein) shown as the mean ± SEM from 8 replicate experiments. ADP - Adenosine diphosphate; G3P - Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate; P – pyruvate; Pr – proline; TMPD - N,N,N',N'-Tetramethyl-p-Phenylenediamine dichloride
