“…They may increase the respiratory rate or glycolysis to meet the requirements. We therefore assessed mitochondrial respiration, ATP generation, and the balancing of oxygen consumption (OCR, Figure 3 A,B,D) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR, Figure 3 C,D), key indicators of mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis, respectively [ 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 39 ]. Indeed, absolute basal OCR in the presence of full nutrients and supplements (pyruvate, glutamine and glucose) was much higher in shNXN cultures ( Figure 3 A).…”
