Uncoupled respiration
Description
The uncoupled part of respiration in state P pumps protons to compensate for intrinsic uncoupling, which is a property of:
(a) the inner mt-membrane (proton leak),
(b) the proton pumps (proton slip; decoupling), and
(c) is regulated by molecular uncouplers (uncoupling protein, UCP1).
Uncoupled and dyscoupled respiration are summarized as LEAK respiration. In contrast, non-coupled respiration is induced experimentally for evaluation of ETS capacity.

The uncoupled part of respiration in state P is larger than LEAK respiration evaluated in state L after inhibition of ATP synthase or adenine nucleotide translocase. This is due to the increase of mt-membrane potential in state L versus P, causing a corresponding increase of the proton leak driven by the higher proton motive force. As an approximation, however, the difference E-L yields an estimate of the physiological scope of uncoupling, or the pathological scope of dyscoupling.
