In obese individuals, endurance exercise improves fitness and increases the number of mitochondria and cellular respiration in skeletal muscles. However, the intervention has no effect on cellular ...

Figure 4: Temperature does not influence the OCR of C. elegans. Figure 5: A schematic overview of an XF respirometer experiment. Figure 6: Respiration rates change during development and with age in C ...
