Polyunsaturated fatty acids modify oxidative reliance OCR:ECAR. A- Ratio of oxygen consumption rate (OCR) to extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) of rhabdomyosarcoma cells treated with either DMSO control (0.1% final concentration), combination omega 3 (Ω3) at 25 μM or 50 μM, or CLA at 25 μM or 50 μM for 24 hours. B- Relative glycolytic reliance at baseline OCR:ECAR following treatment described above with control normalized to value of 1. C- Relative glycolytic reliance from OCR:ECAR following addition of oligomycin (peak glycolysis), an inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation. D- Relative glycolytic reliance with control = 1 from OCR:ECAR following addition of carbonyl cyanide p-[trifluoromethoxy]-phenyl-hydrazone (FCCP), a mitochondrial uncoupling agent, (peak oxidation) in addition to previously added oligomycin. NOTES: * indicates p < 0.05, ** indicates p < 0.01, and *** indicates p < 0.001 compared with control. † CLA had increased OCR:ECAR but had lower total individual OCR and ECAR compared with control.
