  • MitoPedia topic: Publications of historical interest are valued as milestones in science, as sources of understanding currently discussed concepts, and as a reminder that 'nothing' is new (something new is 'nothing'?) >> Mitochondria and bioblasts: Made history
  • MitoPedia terminology: LEAK vs. State 2: The resting state of substrate supported respiration without ADP (LEAK state) in contrast to the substrate limited State 2 of residual oxygen consumption at high ADP concentration: >> Chance and Williams 1955.

Bioblast alert 2012(06): 2012-07-20

>> More information on the MitoPedia list Substrates and metabolites
  • MitoPedia terminology: State 3 - is [ADP] saturating? Not generally in State 3, but certainly in the OXPHOS state (P).
>> Update on the MitoPedia glossary: Respiratory states

MitoPedia topic: Oxygen dependence of ROS production - are permeabilized fibres a valid model?

--> Discussion

  • 50 Years ago: Nick Holonyak, considered as the "father of the light-emitting diode", developed the first practical visible-spectrum LED in 1962. Which colour? What is a LED? >>> see Glossary: Fluorescence

Mitochondrial dys/function in obesity vs. anorexia:

Two exciting publications on mitochondrial p50, apparent excess capacity of cytochrome c oxidase, basal metabolic rate, P/O ratios and ergometric efficiency:

  1. Larsen FJ, Schiffer TA, Sahlin K, Ekblom B, Weitzberg E, Lundberg JO (2011) Mitochondrial oxygen affinity predicts basal metabolic rate in humans. FASEB J 25: 2843-2852.

Pesta D, Gnaiger E (2012) High-resolution respirometry. OXPHOS protocols for human cells and permeabilized fibres from small biopisies of human muscle. Methods Mol Biol 810: 25-58.


Bioblast alert 2011(03): 2011-11-24

  • Fluorometry combined with high-resolution respirometry: Light guide inserted into the chamber through a black PEEK stopper[1], or optical probe operated through the O2k-glass window[2].


Bioblast alert 2011(02): 2011-11-17

  • Heart failure and mitochondrial dysfunction. Increased OXPHOS capacity after cold preservation of the human heart – a paradox resolved by a dyscoupling mechanism.
Lemieux H, Semsroth S, Antretter H, Hoefer D, Gnaiger E (2011) Mitochondrial respiratory control and early defects of oxidative phosphorylation in the failing human heart. Int J Biochem Cell Biol 43: 1729–1738. --> Discussion: Complementary results on the PGC-1a pathway.
Evaluate an example of low-resolution terminology: Uncoupling was studied in stressed cells by measurement of coupled respiration, evaluation of uncoupled respiration after inhibition with oligomycin, and FCCP titration to quantify uncoupled respiration.


Bioblast alert 2011(01): 2011-11-11

  • A key question on the separation of qualitative versus quantitative change of mitochondrial function is addressed in a new O2k-Publication. Does training induce mild uncoupling? Are sedentary humans healthy controls?
Pesta D, Hoppel F, Macek C, Messner H, Faulhaber M, Kobel C, Parson W, Burtscher M, Schocke M, Gnaiger E (2011) Similar qualitative and quantitative changes of mitochondrial respiration following strength and endurance training in normoxia and hypoxia in sedentary humans. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 301: R1078–R1087.
  • ETS capacity plays a key role in such analyses, which cannot be achieved quantitatively without careful uncoupler titrations.
  • Basal respiration - term of the month: a hallmark of high-resolution respirometry is a matching high-resolution terminology.
