Non-mitochondrial respiration or residual oxygen consumption (Rox)? — Concept-driven constructive terminology frames our perception. After inhibition of electron-transfer (ET) pathways or in the absence of fuel substrates, both mitochondrial non-ET reactions and non-mitochondrial reactions contribute to residual oxygen consumption in mt-preparations and living cells.

OXPHOS-coupling efficiency (1-L/P) describes the coupling of the mitochondrial electron transfer system. This coupling control factor ranges from 1.0 for a fully coupled system to 0.0 for a system with zero respiratory phosphorylation capacity (L=P). It is suggested to use OXPHOS-coupling efficiency instead of the respiratory acceptor control ratio (RCR) to evaluate mitochondrial coupling.
