    Abstract Normal cardiac function is accomplished through a continuous energy supply provided by mitochondria. Heart mitochondria are the major source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species: superoxide anion (O2-) and nitric oxide (NO). NO production by mitochondrial NOS (mtNOS) is modified by metabolic state and shows an exponential dependence on Δψ. The interaction between mtNOS and complexes I and IV might be a mechanism involved in the regulation of mitochondrial NO production. NO exerts a high affinity, reversible and physiological inhibition of cytochrome c oxidase activity. A second effect of NO on the respiratory chain is accomplished More >
