Abstract: Whereas mitochondria are well established as the source of ATP in the process of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), it is debated if they are also the major sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here we describe the novel approach of combining high-resolution respirometry and fluorometric measurement of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) production, applied to mitochondrial preparations (permeabilized cells, tissue homogenate, isolated mitochondria). The widely used H₂O₂ probe Amplex Ultrared inhibited respiration in intact and permeabilized cells and should not be applied at concentrations above 10 µM. H₂O₂ fluxes were generally less than 1% of oxygen fluxes in physiological substrate and coupling states, specifically in permeabilized cells. H₂O₂ flux was consistently highest in the succinate-linked LEAK state, reduced with NS-linked convergent electron flow and in mitochondria respiring at OXPHOS capacity, and were further diminished in uncoupled mitochondria respiring at electron transfer-pathway capacity. Simultaneous measurement of mitochondrial respiration and H₂O₂ flux requires careful optimization of assay conditions and reveals information in functional OXPHOS analysis beyond these assays carried out separately.
