This is the case of a 41 year old man, suffering general weakness and elevated liver enzymes, sensitive to a treatment with riboflavin and coenzyme Q(10). Tandem mass spectroscopy and molecular analysis reveal a multiple acyl-CoA-dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) with two novel heterozygote missense mutations of the EFTDH gene.

Acute Severe Hypoxia Decreases Mitochondrial Chain Complex II Respiration in Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells.
Int J Mol Sci

Biomedicine Research Center of Strasbourg (CRBS), UR 3072, "Mitochondria, Oxidative Stress and Muscle Plasticity", Faculty of Medicine, University of Strasbourg, 67000 Strasbourg, France.
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells' (PBMCs) mitochondrial respiration is impaired and likely involved in myocardial injury and heart failure pathophysiology, but its response to acute and severe hypoxia, often associated with such diseases, is largely unknown in humans. We therefore determined the effects of acute hypoxia on PBMC mitochondrial respiration and ROS production in healthy volunteers exposed to controlled oxygen reduction, achieving an inspired oxygen fraction of 10.5%.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a critical cofactor in mitochondrial energy production. The NADH/NAD ratio, reflecting the balance between NADH (reduced) and NADoxidized, is a key marker for the severity of mitochondrial diseases. We recently developed a streamlined LC-MS/MS method for the precise measurement of NADH and NAD.

Article Synopsis
- Mitochondrial dysfunction and macrophage dysregulation are important in autoimmune diseases, but how they connect is not fully understood.
- The study focuses on the role of chronic low-level interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) using a mouse model with lupus-like symptoms, finding that this condition suppresses mitochondrial function, especially in the kidneys.
- It suggests that restoring mitochondrial function could improve macrophage activity and provide new targets for treating autoimmune diseases like lupus nephritis.

NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) 1 alpha subcomplex, 4-like 2 (NDUFA4L2) protein is located in the mitochondria and can regulate cell proliferation. Some studies have shown that the high NDUFA4L2 expression is linked with poor prognosis and cancer progression in various patients with cancers. However, the correlation between NDUFA4L2 and pan-cancer is unknown.
