This study describes a low-noise, rapid spectrophotometric system using visible light (440-605 nm) for the measurement of cytochrome redox state combined with high-resolution respirometry. The system was tested in an investigation using beef and mouse heart isolated mitochondria (BHImt, MHImt) in order to determine the relationship between respiratory rate and cytochrome redox state at steady-state levels of hypoxia. Monophasic hyperbolic relations were observed between respiratory rate, j (with glutamate+malate and saturating ADP concentrations), and oxygen partial pressure, pO2, in the range <1.1 kPa for both BHImt and MHImt with p50,j (pO2 at j = 0.5 Jmax) of 0.015 and 0.021 kPa respectively. The oxidation fractions of cytochromes aa3 and c were biphasic hyperbolic functions of pO2. The relationships between cytochrome oxidation states and j were more complex with an initial steep decrease in the oxidation fraction of cytochrome c to a value of j of approximately 0.7 followed by a plateaux and a further steep decrease at j < 0.2. This relationship was less apparent with cytochrome b redox state. Using these functions, it was possible to create a model that successfully described the measured relationship between cytochrome oxidation state and oxygen consumption.
