  1. Data are presented as proportions from total number of mitochondria evaluated, from 3 to 5 COCs per treatment group (from 3 to 5 mice per treatment group). Significant differences between the indicated treatment groups at the same PCCI time point are indicated with letters a, b and c (P < 0.05)
