title: Oxidative damage of mitochondria induced by Fe(II)citrate or t-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of Ca2+: effect of coenzyme Q redox state.
abstract: The role of coenzyme Q on the process of mitochondrial membrane damage associated with oxidative stress was studied in a suspension of uncoupled mitochondria exposed to Ca2+ in the presence of Fe(II)citrate or t-butyl hydroperoxide. Reduction of coenzyme Q by succinate was shown to inhibit both inner membrane lipid peroxidation and permeabilization induced by Fe(II)citrate. In contrast, the inner membrane permeabilization induced by Ca2+ alone or Ca2+ plus t-butyl hydroperoxide was potentiated by the presence of succinate. These results support our previous proposition that the mitochondrial damage associated with oxidative stress generated by these pro-oxidants in the presence of Ca2+ is mediated by different mechanisms.
