TABLE 1. Rates of PQ2+-induced H2O2 production in cellular fractions.

Equal protein amounts from each fraction were assayed for H2O2 production using a fluorometric method following the addition of 250 μM PQ2+. H2O2 production in mitochondrial fraction stimulated with malate plus glutamate as respiration substrates was considered 100%, and all values are expressed as a percentage of this (mean ± S.E., n = 3).

Fraction Substrate
With endogenous substrate With succinate With Mal/Pyr With Mal/Glu
Homogenate 0.21 ± 0.02a 4.52 ± 0.19a 7.99 ± 0.34a 5.55 ± 0.17a
Cytosol 0.02 ± 0.003 0.06 ± 0.01 0.03 ± 0.01 0.05 ± 0.02
Mitochondria 0.98 ± 0.07a,b 81.48 ± 3.53a,b 143.83 ± 6.11a,b 100.00 ± 3.10a,b
a

Significantly different from cytosolic fraction (p < 0.05, one-way analysis of variance) grouped by respiration substrate.

b

Significantly different from homogenate fraction (p < 0.05, one-way analysis of variance) grouped by respiration substrate.
