The CoQH2/CoQ Ratio Serves as a Sensor of Respiratory Chain Efficiency

The CoQH2/CoQ Ratio Serves as a Sensor of Respiratory Chain Efficiency

Electrons feed into the mitochondrial electron transport chain (mETC) from NAD- or FAD-dependent enzymes. A shift from glucose to fatty acids increases electron flux through FAD, which can saturate the oxidation capacity of the dedicated coenzyme Q (CoQ) pool and result in the generation of reactive...
