Sites of Superoxide and Hydrogen Peroxide Production by Muscle Mitochondria Assessed ex Vivo under Conditions Mimicking Rest and Exercise
Open accessAbstract
The sites and rates of mitochondrial production of superoxide and H 2 O 2 in vivo are not yet defined. At least 10 different mitochondrial sites can generate these species. Each site has a different maximum capacity ( e.g. the outer quinol site in complex III (site III Qo ) has a very high capacity in rat skeletal muscle mitochondria, whereas the flavin site in complex I (site I F ) has a very low capacity). The maximum capacities can greatly exceed the actual rates observed in the absence of electron transport chain inhibitors, so maximum capacities are a poor guide to actual rates. Here, we use new approaches to measure the rates at which different mitochondrial sites produce superoxide/H 2 O 2 using isolated muscle mitochondria incubated in media mimicking the cytoplasmic substrate and effector mix of skeletal muscle during rest and exercise. We find that four or five sites dominate during rest in this ex vivo system. Remarkably, the quinol site in complex I (site I Q ) and the flavin site in complex II (site II F ) each account for about a quarter of the total measured rate of H 2 O 2 production. Site I F , site III Qo , and perhaps site E F in the β-oxidation pathway account for most of the remainder. Under conditions mimicking mild and intense aerobic exercise, total production is much less, and the low capacity site I F dominates. These results give novel insights into which mitochondrial sites may produce superoxide/H 2 O 2 in vivo .Ten mitochondrial sites of superoxide/H 2 O 2 generation are known, but their contributions in vivo are undefined. Results We assessed their rates ex vivo in conditions mimicking rest and exercise. Conclusion Sites I Q and II F generated half the signal at rest. During exercise, rates were lower, and site I F dominated. Significance Contributing sites ex vivo probably reflect those in vivo .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
