Respiration compensating for the [[proton leak]] is the main component of [[LEAK respiration]]. If proton leak were the only component involved, it would make sense to simply write leak respiration for the compensatory oxygen flux. Proton slip and cation cycling, however, are also involved to a larger or smaller extent to stimulate LEAK respiration. The upper case 'LEAK', therefore, should make us aware that this is more accurately considered as an acronym, and cannot be taken as a definitive delineation of the stimulatory mechanism in the LEAK state of respiration.
