Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondria and reactive oxygen species.

TL;DR: The sources and metabolism of ROS in this organelle are reviewed, including the conditions that regulate the production of these species, such as mild uncoupling, oxygen tension, respiratory inhibition, Ca2+ and K+ transport, and mitochondrial content and morphology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial damage induced by conditions of oxidative stress

TL;DR: Up to 2% of the oxygen consumed by the mitochondrial respiratory chain undergoes one electron reduction, typically by the semiquinone form of coenzyme Q, to generate the superoxide radical, and subsequently other reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide and the hydroxyl radical.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial permeability transition and oxidative stress.

TL;DR: Data is reviewed indicating that MPT is not a consequence of the opening of a pre‐formed pore, but the consequence of oxidative damage to pre‐existing membrane proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue-, substrate-, and site-specific characteristics of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation.

TL;DR: The results indicate that succinate is an important substrate for isolated mitochondrial reactive oxygen production in brain, heart, kidney, and skeletal muscle, whereas fatty acids generate significant quantities of oxidants in kidney and liver.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioenergetic consequences of opening the ATP-sensitive K(+) channel of heart mitochondria.

TL;DR: Opening mitochondrial K(ATP) channels has little direct effect on respiration, membrane potential, or Ca(2+) uptake but has important effects on matrix and intermembrane space volumes.
