Abstract

An analysis of the mitochondrial respiration function represented by the oxygen consumption rate is necessary to assess mitochondrial bioenergetics and redox function. This protocol describes two alternative techniques to evaluate mitochondrial respiration function in situ: (1) measure oxygen consumption rates via an electrode; (2) measure oxygen consumption rates via a seahorse instrument. These in situ approaches provide more physiological access to mitochondria to evaluate mitochondrial respiration function in a relatively integrated cellular system.
