We assessed oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolites as well as the total non-enzymatic antioxidant protection in plasma. Compared with control nestlings, Cort...

... marine ectotherm, the mussel Mytilus edulis , as a model. Mussels from a single cohort that considerably differed in body size were selected, implying faster growth in the larger specimens. We determined the body mass-dependent scaling of the mitochondrial proton leak respiration, respiration...

... Mitochondria Phosphorylation Proton leak Substrate oxidation Fluctuations in oxygen (O 2 ) availability represent a major challenge to aerobic organisms. The degree of hypoxia tolerance varies among animals, from terrestrial mammals that survive only minutes to hours without O 2 to hypoxia-tolerant...

... 2016 Summary: Variation in performance among individual fish is associated with differences in their mitochondrial leak respiration rate and respiratory control ratio. Ecophysiology Food intake Global warming Proton leak Respiratory control ratio Respiration rate Increasing...

... of radical oxygen species than those from the smaller frogs. Collectively, the data show that key bioenergetics parameters of mitochondria (proton leak, ATP production efficiency and radical oxygen species production) are correlated with body mass in frogs. This research expands our understanding...

... and uncoupler-stimulated (state 3u) respiration while concomitantly stimulating states 4 and 4 ol (proton leak) respiration, thus reducing phosphorylation and coupling efficiencies. Low doses of Cd (≤5 μmol l −1 ) reduced, while higher doses enhanced, hypoxia-stimulated proton leak. This was in contrast...

... showed high resilience to transient hypoxia. In control oysters at 20°C, hypoxia/reoxygenation induced elevated flux capacity of all three studied mitochondrial subsystems (substrate oxidation, phosphorylation and proton leak) and resulted in a mild depolarization of resting mitochondria. Elevated proton...

... sensitivity of mitochondrial substrate oxidation was high for proline and pyruvate but low for succinate. Oxygen efficiency of catabolism rose as temperature changed from 11 to 21°C via shifts to oxygen-conserving oxidation of proline and pyruvate and via reduced relative proton leak. The changes observed...

... metabolism, all animals hibernated with no differences in bout durations, body temperatures or whole-animal metabolic rates among the diet groups. The reduced mitochondrial proton leak in the 15, 35 and 55 mg g –1 18:2 diet groups might compensate for the inability to suppress respiration, permitting whole...

...Cindy A. Duong; Chugey A. Sepulveda; Jeffrey B. Graham; Kathryn A. Dickson SUMMARY Mitochondrial proton leak was assessed as a potential heat source in the slow, oxidative (red) locomotor muscle and liver of the shortfin mako shark( Isurus oxyrinchus ), a regional endotherm that maintains...

... acclimated at 15°C. It was found that both cadmium and temperature significantly affect mitochondrial function in oysters. Elevated temperature had a rate-enhancing effect on state 3 (ADP-stimulated) and states 4 and 4+ (representative of proton leak) respiration, and the rate of temperature-dependent...

This`proton cycling' or `proton leak' partially uncouples oxygen consumption from ATP synthesis, thereby leading to less effective energy...
