ATP content analysis. Young, middle, and old represent (A, B) 20, 18, and 19 muscle or (D, E) 19, 20, and 20 synaptosomal cell lines in different cybrid groups, respectively. The (A, D) total and (B, E) oligomycin-resistant ATP content was measured. The ATP/ADP ratio was also measured in a separate experiment. Young, middle, and old represent (C) 10,10, and 10 muscle or (F) 9, 9, and 9 synaptosomal cell lines in different cybrid groups, respectively. Three determinations were made.
