Results from respirometry in preoperative and postoperative samples in chronic ischemic and non-ischemic muscle; a results from high resolution respirometry expressed as oxygen (O2) flux per mg wet weight [pmol/(s*mg)] in chronic ischemic muscle; b results from high resolution respirometry normalized to results from citrate synthase activity (CSA) expressed as (O2) flux per CSA [pmol/(s*mg)/CSA] in chronic ischemic muscle; c results from high resolution respirometry expressed as oxygen (O2) flux per mg wet weight [pmol/(s*mg)] in non-ischemic muscle; d results from high resolution respirometry normalized to results from citrate synthase activity (CSA) expressed as (O2) flux per CSA [pmol/(s*mg)/CSA] in non-ischemic muscle; ns not significant; a p-value < 0.05 was considered to be significant; **indicates statistical difference p < 0.01; CSA Citrate synthase acitivity, MOctL maximal respiration after titration of malate and octanoyl, MOctP maximal respiration after addition of ADP, P maximal respiration after addition of pyruvate and succinate, E maximal respiration after addition of FCCP
