Description

Flux control ratios FCRs are ratios of oxygen flux in different respiratory control states, normalized for maximum flux in a common reference state, to obtain theoretical lower and upper limits of 0.0 and 1.0 (0 % and 100 %).

For a given protocol or set of respiratory protocols, flux control ratios provide a fingerprint of coupling and substrate control independent of (1) mt-content in cells or tissues, (2) purification in preparations of isolated mitochondria, and (3) assay conditions for determination of tissue mass or mt-markers external to a respiratory protocol (CS, protein, stereology, etc.). FCR obtained from a single respirometric incubation with sequential titrations (sequential protocol; SUIT protocol) provide an internal normalization, expressing respiratory control independent of mitochondrial content and thus independent of a marker for mitochondrial amount. FCR obtained from separate (parallel) protocols depend on equal distribution of subsamples obtained from a homogenous mt-preparation or determination of a common mitochondrial marker.

Unknown sample concentration and normalization per unit sample [x]

  • In the DatLab 7.4 Excel template for oxygen flux analysis (O2 analysis template DL7.4):
If the sample concentration is not yet known, the box โ€˜Known sample concentrationโ€™ can be unchecked, and the concentration will be considered by default as 1, with units [xยทmL-1]. In this way, flux can be normalized and FCRs can be obtained even if the sample concentration is unknown.

FCR in DatLab plot

  • The entire oxygen flux plot can be converted to a FCR. Click on 'Flux/Slope' in the DatLab pull-down menu. Select chamber A or B 'O2 slope'. Select 'Flux control ratio, FCR' and select the mark that corresponds to the reference state. Change the layout under scale under 'Layout/Standard layouts' and select '07a Flux Control Ratios' or '07b Flux Control Ratios overlay'.
