Template:SUIT text D089

The SUIT-036 O2 mt D089 protocol provides a common reference for comparison of respiratory control of mitochondrial preparations such as isolated mitochondria, tissue homogenates and permeabilized cells (already permeabilized when they are added to the chamber) in a wide variety of species, tissues and cell types. SUIT-036 O2 mt D089 is specially designed to give information on F-pathway with palmitoylcarnitine as a FAO substrate in OXPHOS state avoiding FAO overestimation in the presence of anaplerotic pathways. The careful titration of malate is required to analyze the activity of the mt-isoform of NADP- or NAD(P)-dependent malic enzyme (mtME). Moreover, the pathway control in OXPHOS state (F, F(N), FN, FNS, FNSGp pathways) and in ET state (FNSGp and SGp) can be evaluated by using this SUIT protocol.
