Abstract excerpt
Vulnerability of mitochondrial Complex I to oxidative stress determines an organism's lifespan, pace of aging, susceptibility to numerous diseases originating from oxidative stress and certain mitopathies. The mechanisms involved, however, are largely unknown. We used confocal microscopy and fluorescent probe MitoSOX to monitor superoxide production due to retarded forward electron transport in HEPG2 cell...
