Figure 6From: Ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 3 in the ventral and lateral hypothalamic area of female rats: morphological characterization and functional implicationsDetermination of mitochondrial respiration rates in hypothalamic synaptosomes. Inhibition of ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase-activity by Suramin decreased oxygen consumption during state 3 mitochondrial respiration (A), and also decreased the total mitochondrial respiratory capacity (B).Back to article page
