Mitochondrial Respiration Rates quantify the speed at which mitochondria consume oxygen to drive ATP synthesis via the electron transport chain in living cells.
Origin
This measurement is a direct readout from cellular metabolism studies, historically relying on respirometry techniques.
Mechanism
Rates are modulated by substrate availability, the activity of respiratory chain complexes, and the proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, directly impacting cellular energy status.
