Abstract: Formation of H2O2 has been studied in rat heart mitochondria, pretreated with H2O2 and aminotriazole to lower their antioxidant capacity. It is shown that the rate of H2O2 formation by mitochondria oxidizing 6 mM succinate is inhibited by a protonophorous uncoupler, ADP and phosphate, malonate, rotenone and myxothiazol, and is stimulated by antimycin A. The effect of ADP is abolished by carboxyatractylate and oligomycin. Addition of uncoupler after rotenone induces further inhibition of H2O2 production. Inhibition of H2O2 formation by uncoupler, malonate and ADP+Pi is shown to be proportional to the ΞΞ¨ decrease by these compounds. A threshold ΞΞ¨ value is found, above which a very strong increase in H2O2 production takes place. This threshold slightly exceeds the state 3 ΞΞ¨ level. The data obtained are in line with the concept [Skulachev, V.P., Q. Rev. Biophys. 29 (1996), 169β202] that a high proton motive force in state 4 is potentially dangerous for the cell due to an increase in the probability of superoxide formation.
