Mitochondrial respiration
Oxygen consumption was measured in perme-abilized Cytochalasin D at 37 °C by high-resolution respirometry with the Oxygraph-2k (Oroboros Instru-ments). A specific experiment on male mice, distinct from the previously described ones, was performed in order to process 4 mice per day (C, n = 3; C26, n = 5 for both WT and Tg mice). EDL muscles were excised and immediately placed in ice-cold biopsy containing preservation medium [2.77 mM CaK2EGTA, 7.23 mM K2EGTA, 20 mM imidazole, 20 mM taurine,
3 mg were mechanically separated using thin twee-zers and permeabilized with 50 μg/ml saponin for
30 min at 4 °C according to the technique of Veksler et al. [41]. After rinsing of muscle bundles in respiration medium [EGTA 0.5 mM, MgCl2·6H2O 3 mM, taurine
110 mM (pH 7.1)], the muscle fibers were transferred to the oxygraph to perform high-resolution respirom-etry corrected for wet weight. Resting respiration (state 4, absence of adenylates) was determined by the addition of 10 mM glutamate and 2 mM malate as the Complex I substrate supply, and state
3 respiration was then assessed by the addition of
2.5 mM ADP (Compl I). ADP control of coupled respiration and uncoupling control were examined
through the addition of the protonophore c a r b o n y l c y a n i d e - 4 - ( t r i f l u o r o m e t h o x y ) - phenylhydrazone (FCCP; Max R); 0.5 μM rotenone and 2.5 μM antimycin A were added to inhibit Complexes I (allowing Compl II extrapolation) and III, respectively, to observe non-mitochondrial respiration (Leak). All respiration measurements were performed in duplicate for each muscle.
Expression of results and statistical analysis
Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Statistical significance was assessed by a two-tailed paired Student's t-test or one-way ANOVA analysis follow-ed by Tukey's multiple comparisons test. A value of p b 0.05 was chosen as the limit of statistical significance.
