cellular
• mitochondrial lipids are modified
• 2 fold increase in monolysocardiolipins (even greater effect in heterozygotes)
|
• formation of highly interconnected networks
|
• 2 fold increase in volume
|
• decreased "state 3" and "state 4" respiration in mitochondria
• respiratory control ratio is lower in liver mitochondria
• rates of electron transfer are reduced
• 50% decrease in maximal respiratory rates
|
• rates of electron transfer are reduced
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• free fatty acids in plasma are increased
• exacerbated on a high fat diet
|
• 2 fold loss of free fatty acids in mitochondria, particularly linoleic and linolenic acids
|
liver/biliary system
• develop fatty livers
