Mitochondrial Toxicity
Mitochondrial Oxidative Stress Assay
Introduction
- Mitochondria consume the majority of cellular oxygen and regulate redox-signalling1.
- Toxic drugs can induce mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS) causing mitochondrial/cellular damage which has been linked to the pathology of many diseases2.
- The Cyprotex mitochondrial oxidative stress assay detects selective mROS production caused by the toxicity of novel compounds.
