摘要: Background— Mitochondrial respiration is the main source of energy in aerobic animal cells and adapted to demand by respiratory coupling. Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) perturb coupling inducing a proton leak through mitochondrial inner membrane. Although this could lead deleterious waste, it may prevent production oxygen radicals when rate phosphorylation ADP into ATP low, whereas substrate availability mitochondria high. The latter conditions are encountered during cardiac reperfusion after ischemia highly relevant heart infarction. Methods Results— Heart function 6 transgenic mice expressing high amounts UCP1 littermate controls was compared isolated perfused hearts normoxia, 40-minute global ischemia, on reperfusion. In consumption, contractility (quantified as rate-pressure product), their relationship (energetic yield) were similar transge...
