Their catabolic demands are colossally increased while beta oxidation of fatty acids and oxidative phosphorylation are compromised by the presence of propofol in the mitochondria. 6) Because mitochondria are the primary sites of oxidative phosphorylation, the accumulation of mitochondrial DNA mutations might lead to a progressive decrease in the body's ability to produce energy in affected cells. These signs can be explained by the effects of PCP itself, that is, uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria (3). |
