Two exciting publications on mitochondrial p50, apparent excess capacity of cytochrome c oxidase, basal metabolic rate, P/O ratios and ergometric efficiency:

  1. Larsen FJ, Schiffer TA, Sahlin K, Ekblom B, Weitzberg E, Lundberg JO (2011) Mitochondrial oxygen affinity predicts basal metabolic rate in humans. FASEB J 25: 2843-52.
  2. Larsen FJ, Schiffer TA, Borniquel S, Sahlin K, Ekblom B, Lundberg JO, Weitzberg E (2011) Dietary inorganic nitrate improves mitochondrial efficiency in humans. Cell Metab 13: 149-59.
