Uncoupling and BMR
BMR increased when all of the proton gradient energy (as opposed to just some) is transformed into heat...increases BMR
-
Non-shivering thermogenesis
in brown adipose tissue; uncoupling protein-1 (thermogenin) is only in brown fat mit and hormonally controls non-shivering thermogenesis
-
pathological uncouplers
thryoxine: produces less ATP and increases heat production; seen in hyperthroidism (Grave's disease)
salicylate: degradation prod of aspirin, uncouples mit oxid phosph
-
riboflavin deficiency
flavins used in oxid phosph (FMN in complex 1 and FAD in complex 2) come from riboflavin; def of riboflavin decreases mit ability to make ATP via oxid phosph
results in megamit; due to impairment of complex 1 and complex 2
-
anthracycline toxicity
(aka doxorubicin); impairs mit func by binding to complex 1
-
production of reactive oxygen species (ROS)
when ETC blocked, reduced complex 1 and complex 3 directly reduce molecular oxygen and end up producing superoxide radicles (toxic)
-
apoptosis
when receive a death stimuli, mit outer mem becomes permeable and releases cyt c into cytosol (act caspase cascade)
-
ischemia/hypoxia
brain, heart, kidney super sens to ischemia/hypoxia bc need the most amt of ATP possible
-
OXPHOS diseases
def/prob in oxidative metab which result in accumulation of lactate in blood and incorporation of FA into triglyceride
-
mit myopathies
OXPHOS disease; caused by non-func mit (muscles and nerve cells are super susceptible)
Kearns-Sayre, MERRF, LHON, MELAS
-
Sx of mit myopathies
muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, heat failure, rhythm disturbances, dementia, mvmt disorders, stroke-like episodes, deafness, blindness, vomiting, seizures
muscles easily fatiqued or weakened during physical act
-
rotenone
fish/rat poison; toxic to humans; binds to complex 1 of ETC
-
antimycin A
inhibits complex 2
-
myxothiazole
inhibits complex 2
-
cyanide
reversible inhibitor complex 4
-
azide
reversible inhibitor complex 4
-
malonate
competitive inhibitor complex 2
-
-
-
oligomycin
binds to complex 5 and blocks mvmt through channel; fixed by adding uncouplers to leak H into the matrix
