Figure 2: Respiratory Control Ratio (RCR) of heart mitochondria isolated from non-diabetic rats (white), STZ-diabetic rats (light grey) and STZdiabetic rats supplemented with spent hop extract at 5 mg/kg b.w. (dark grey), presented in dependence on experiment duration (1, 2.5 and 5 months).
Data are given as mean and 95% confidence intervals, n=9-20 animals. Significance of differences estimated by two-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey tests: samples after 2.5 months vs. samples after 5 months, *P<0.05 and samples after 1 month vs. samples after 5 months, **P<0.0001. For experimental details see ‘Materials and methods’.
