CI vs CIV activities and substrate-specific respiration in ST DA vs non DA synaptosomes isolated from 12 month old high vs low (HE vs LE) A53T α-syn expressing transgenics. Uncoupled complex I-mediated oxygen consumption was measured in isolated synaptosomes using glutamate/malate as substrate in the presence of ADP and carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphexylhydrazone. Rotenone-sensitive respiration was calculated as the difference between oxygen consumption rate pre- and post-rotenone addition (2 μM). KCN-sensitive complex IV-mediated respiration was similarly measured using TMPD/ascorbate as substrate. n = 3 for each condition.
