Oxidative stress leads to reduced coupling of oxidative phosphorylation in in vivo resting mouse skeletal muscle
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The “Uncoupling to Survive” Hypothesis suggests that oxidative stress induces reduced coupling of oxidative phosphorylation (P/O), which then reduces reactive oxygen species production by the mitochondria. This study sought to test whether oxidative stress leads to mitochondrial uncoupling in skeletal muscle in vivo . We subjected mice to two different doses of Paraquat (PARA), a redox cycling agent known to stimulate production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mitochondria. After two weeks of treatment, we used magnetic resonance spectroscopy to measure ATP flux and optical spectroscopy to measure oxygen uptake to determine the P/O value in the distal hind limb. PARA treatment led to a significant dose dependent decrease in mitochondrial P/O values in vivo (P<0.05), supporting the hypothesis that oxidative stress leads to mitochondrial uncoupling. We are currently investigating the mechanism of this reduced coupling using a UCP3 knockout mouse. Early results indicate no change in the coupling of resting skeletal muscle in the absence of UCP3. Studies are currently underway to determine if the presence of UCP3 is necessary for oxidative stress‐induced uncoupling in vivo.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
