Abstract:	The redox dye methylene blue (MB) is proven to have beneficial effects in various models of neurodegenerative diseases. Here we investigated the effects of MB (100nM, 300nM, and 1μM) on key bioenergetic parameters and on H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> production/elimination in isolated guinea pig brain mitochondria under normal as well as respiration-impaired conditions. As measured by high-resolution Oxygraph the rate of resting oxygen consumption was increased, but the ADP-stimulated respiration was unaffected by MB with any of the substrates (glutamate malate, succinate, or α-glycerophosphate) used for supporting mitochondrial respiration. In mitochondria treated with inhibitors of complex I or complex III MB moderately but significantly increased the rate of ATP production, restored ΔΨm, and increased the rate of Ca<sup>2+</sup> uptake. The effects of MB are consistent with transferring electrons from upstream components of the electron transport chain to cytochrome ''c'', which is energetically favorable when the flow of electrons in the respiratory chain is compromised. On the other hand, MB significantly increased the production of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> measured by Amplex UltraRed fluorimetry under all conditions, in resting, ATP-synthesizing, and respiration-impaired mitochondria, with each substrate combination supporting respiration. Furthermore, it also decreased the elimination of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. Generation of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> without superoxide formation, observed in the presence of MB, is interpreted as a result of reduction of molecular oxygen to H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> by the reduced MB. The elevated generation and impaired elimination of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> should be considered for the overall oxidative state of mitochondria treated with MB.
