Increase of mitochondrial Ca2+ promotes an increase of NADPH in T. torquatus RBCs loaded with mitochondrial Ca2+ Rhod-2. A) Increase of mitochondrial Ca2+ [Ca2+]mt and fluorescence of NADPH induced by ATP (50 μM) in T. torquaturs RBCs loaded with Rhod-2 AM, in the Ca2+ medium. B) similar experiments in a Ca2+ free medium C) Ionomycin (10 μM) promotes a increase of [Ca2+]mt with concomitant increase of NADPH fluorescence.
