(complexes I–V). NADH dehydrogenase or complex I (CI) is affected in most of the
mitochondrial diseases and in some neurodegenerative disorders. We have studied the
physiological consequences of a partial CI inhibition at the cellular level. We used a genetic
model (40% CI-inhibited human-ape xenomitochondrial cybrids) and a drug-induced model
(0–100% CI-inhibited cells using different concentrations of rotenone). We observed a …
