Figure 2

Metabolic profiling of osmotic stress. Relative changes in proton production rates (red diamonds) indicating glycolytic activity, and oxygen consumption rates (blue circles) corresponding to oxidative phosphorylation, following an increase in extracellular osmotic pressure using mannitol. For both human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) and MDA-MB-231, glycolysis is the main energetic source for osmotic balancing across the plasma membrane. Error bars represent SD (n = 12).
