Mitochondrial respiration in the presence of physiological levels of NO is highly sensitive to decreasing O2 tension due to the interaction between NO and O2 at cytochrome c oxidase.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
NO inhibition of respiration may intensify in hypoxia; leaves open relevance to human ischemia or mitochondrial disease.
Koivisto et al. (1997) studied this question.
