Mitochondrial function, fibre types and ageing: new insights from human muscle in vivo
15 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial changes are at the centre of a wide range of maladies, including diabetes, neurodegeneration and ageing-related dysfunctions. Here we describe innovative optical and magnetic resonance spectroscopic methods that non-invasively measure key mitochondrial fluxes, ATP synthesis and O(2) uptake, to permit the determination of mitochondrial coupling efficiency in vivo (P/O: half the ratio of ATP flux to...
