ATP synthesis in neuroblastoma cells utilising glycolysis or oxidative phosphorylation. The ATP content per mg of total cell protein under different energy substrate restriction conditions was determined spectrophotometrically using a luciferase-based reporter assay. Cells were cultured in â–¡ normal culture medium (DMEM); conditions inhibiting oxidative phosphorylation (DMEM plus rotenone); â–  conditions inhibiting glycolysis (DMEM containing pyruvate but no glucose (PNG media)); conditions inhibiting both oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis (PNG plus rotenone). BE(2)-C cells produced significantly different (*p < 0.01, #p < 0.05) levels of ATP under conditions inhibiting oxidative phosphorylation or glycolysis compared to that produced in normal culture media.
