Table 3 State III (ADP-stimulated) and state IV (ADP phosphorylated) respiration rates of interfibrillar and subsarcolemmal cardiac mitochondria from rats fed chow, medium-chain triglyceride or long-chain triglyceride rich diets, respiring with palmitoyl-carnitine in the presence and absence of GDP.

From: Dietary long-chain, but not medium-chain, triglycerides impair exercise performance and uncouple cardiac mitochondria in rats
