Figure 6.
Bioenergetics and hydrogen peroxide release versus clinical differences. (A) Basal and maximal oxygen consumption rates (OCRs) of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) from infants exposed to chorioamnionitis versus infants who were not. *P < 0.001. (B) Basal and maximal OCRs of HUVECs from white and African American infants. *P < 0.05. (C) Hydrogen peroxide content in the supernatants of HUVECs exposed to hyperoxia. *P < 0.001. Grouped bars represent means; error bars represent SEM. Student’s t test was used to compare groups.
