Table 1.
Respiratory chain enzyme activities from patient muscle homogenate.
| Enzymes | Patient | Controls (n=31) |
|---|---|---|
| Complex I | 0.09 | 0.12 – 0.28 (0.19+/− 0.04) |
| Complex II | 0.14 | 0.14 – 0.36 (0.21+/− 0.05) |
| Complex III | 0.34 | 0.55 – 1.11 (0.78+/− 0.15) |
| Complex IV | 0.49 | 0.57 – 1.77 (1.16+/− 0.28) |
| Complex V | 0.20 | 0.19 – 0.65 (0.39+/− 0.13) |
| Citrate synthase | 112 | 70 – 169 (105+/− 25) |
Mean value (+/− 1SD) of the activities of the respiratory chain complexes are normalized to citrate synthase (CS). Activities are expressed as mU/mg mitochondrial protein and as a percentage of the control mean. Profound deficiencies below the range of controls are shown in bold. n=number of controls.
