dc.description.abstract | The diagnosis of mitochondrial encephalomyopathies caused by complex I (C-I) deficiency relies mainly on the spectrophotometric C-I assay. Considered difficult, this assay lacks reliability and has high nonspecific activity. We studied the key factors of this assay in cultured cells (cybrid and fibroblast): ubiquinone analogues, rotenone inhibition to determine specific activity, and mode of permeabilization of mitochondria] membranes. We showed that ubiquinone 1 allows a more stable and reliable assay, better results were obtained with rotenone inhibition done in the same assay, and mitochondria] permeability was improved just by freeze/thawing the sample prior to the assay.
