Respiratory states normalized for the internal reference state of electron transfer capacity (ETC). Normalizing respiration for ETC of CI and CII (CI + IIE) results in flux control ratios, which reflect important mitochondrial qualitative alterations in mitochondrial function. The leak state without adenylates (LN), complex I-supported oxidative phosphorylation capacity (CIP), complex I-supported ETC (CIE), and ETC of CII (CIIE) are displayed, and all states are normalized to maximal ETC of CI and CII (CI + IIE). Abbreviations: TrP M. glut. Med. = musculus gluteus medius trigger point; TrP M. trapezius = musculus trapezius trigger point; CTR M. vast. Lat. = musculus vastus lateralis control muscle; see Fig. 1 for additional abbreviations
