Superoxide production by mitochondria in the presence of nitric oxide forms peroxynitrite
Abstract
The mitochondrial respiratory chain continually produces superoxide leading to high levels of mitochondrial oxidative stress. This oxidative damage has been attributed to the formation of hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide from superoxide. Alternatively, mitochondrial superoxide may react with nitric oxide forming the potent oxidant peroxynitrite, thus damaging mitochondrial protein, lipid and DNA. To test this hypothesis we induced mitochondrial superoxide formation in the presence of nitric oxide. Here we demonstrate that mitochondrial superoxide reacts with nitric oxide to form peroxynitrite, suggesting that mitochondria may be a significant intracellular source of peroxynitrite.

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.
