Fig. 5From: Comparison of aqueous, polyethylene glycol-aqueous and ethanolic propolis extracts: antioxidant and mitochondria modulating propertiesEffect of propolis extracts on mitochondrial non-phosphorylating respiration rate in C6 cells. Incubation of cells and measurement of the digitonin-permeabilised cell mitochondrial respiration were performed as described in Materials and Methods. The respiration rates are expressed as pmol O2/(s*2 × 106 cells). Data are presented as means of percentage of control cells ± SE (n = 5). * p < 0.05 versus controlBack to article page
