Abstract excerpt
A mutation in a subunit of complex I of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (gas-1) causes Caenorhabditis elegans to be hypersensitive to volatile anesthetics and oxygen as well as shortening lifespan. We hypothesized that changes in mitochondrial respiration or reactive oxygen species production cause these changes. Therefore, we compared gas-1 to other mitochondrial mutants to identify the relative...
