  1. NTA No triggering agent, TA Triggering agent, I Inhibitor, E Extract at different concentrations, MSH Buffer Swelling buffer, MIT Isolated mitochondria
  2. Absorbance was read at 540 nm at 30-sec intervals over 12 minutes, and the assay was conducted in duplicates (24 readings, n =3).
  3. Δ Abs = Abs at T(30 s, 1 min, 1 min 30 s …12 min) – Abs at T0 sec.
