Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Individuals genetically susceptible to malignant hyperthermia (MH) exhibit hypermetabolic reactions when exposed to volatile anaesthetics. Mitochondrial dysfunction has previously been associated with the MH-susceptible (MHS) phenotype in animal models, but evidence of this in human MH is limited. METHODS: We used high resolution respirometry to compare oxygen consumption rates (oxygen flux) between...
