physiological function | presence of NNT function is observed in detergent-solubilized and intact functional skeletal muscle mitochondria isolated from wild-type (NNT+/+) mice, but not in skeletal muscle mitochondria from congenic mice carrying a mutated NNT gene (NNT-/-). The NADPH supplied by NNT supports up to 600 pmol/mg/min of H2O2 removal under selected conditions. Skeletal muscle mitochondria from NNT-/- mice remove exogenous H2O2 at wild-type levels and exhibit a maintained or even decreased net emission of endogenous H2O2 when substrates that support Krebs cycle reactions are present (e.g., pyruvate plus malate or palmitoylcarnitine plus malate). The total activities of concurrent NADP+-reducing enzymes such as IDH2, malic enzymes and glutamate dehydrogenase are about 70% elevated in NNT mice. Respiratory rates are similar between skeletal muscle mitochondria from both NNT genotypes | Mus musculus |
