Control of oxidative phosphorylation in skeletal muscle.
The classical concept of ATP-demand control of energy metabolism in skeletal muscle has to be modified on the basis of studies showing the influence of additional controlling parameters (reducing equivalent supply, oxygen availability, proton leak, diffusion restrictions and the creatine kinase system) and on the basis of applications of metabolic control analysis showing very clearly multistep control. This concept of multistep control allows to quantify the individual influence of any parameter on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and is extremely helpful to analyze the metabolic consequences of enzyme deficiencies in skeletal muscle occurring in mitochondrial myopathies.
