Effects of hypoxia and spawning on mitochondrial metabolism and bioenergetics of the blue mussel Mytilus spp. from the Baltic Sea (Q5975)

We studied the effect of short-term hypoxia (7 days) and spawning (pre-spawning, and 3 h and 72 h post-spawning) on mitochondrial respiration, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and energy budget of the mussels Mytilus edulis. The data set reports oxygen consumption, efflux of reactive oxygen species (H2O2), fractional electrol leak (ratio of H2O2 efflux to O2 consumption) in isolated mitochondria, as well as the biochemical composition and energy content of the gills and the digestive gland tissues, tissue energy demand (measured as the activity to the electron transport system) and cellular energy allogation (CEA) in the tissues of the mussels.
