Cellular metabolism as measured in oxygen consumption rate (OCR) (n = 4). Basal denotes energetic demand of the cell under baseline condition; spare respiratory capacity denotes the capability of the cell to respond to energetic demand; proton leak denotes remaining basal respiration not coupled to ATP production, can be a sign of mitochondrial damage; ATP production shows ATP produced by the mitochondria to meet the energetic need of the cell.
