Comparative mitochondrial physiology strongly relies on quantitative data sets for comparison of OXPHOS capacities and respiratory control patterns between species and tissues. Combination and interpretation of a wide variety of studies requires standardization of respiratory protocols, implementation of quality control criteria, and consistency of normalization. Previously we described a reference method for the application of a cytochrome c threshold as exclusion criterion in mitochondrial OXPHOS analyses [1]. Alaskan sled dogs (N=6) were studied 72 to 120 h after finishing a competitive 1,000 mile race within less than nine days. Permeabilized fibers (0.81-1.28 mg ± 0.12 SD wet weight per assay) were prepared from needle biopsies and immediately studied by high-resolution respirometry [2] using 12 chambers in parallel (Oroboros Oxygraph-2k). Compared to human skeletal muscle fibers, the canine samples were more delicate to handle, highly sticky and appeared to be fragile, disintegrating to various degrees during substrate-uncoupler-inhibitor titration (SUIT) protocols in mt-respiration medium MiR06Cr. Two substrate-uncoupler-inhibitor titration protocols were applied (Fig. 1). SUIT1 emphasized pathway control with fatty acid oxidation (F) versus carbohydrate oxidation capacity, whereas the focus of SUIT2 was on coupling control with N-linked substrates. Both protocols were designed to provide a common reference state of NS-linked ET capacity, in comparison to separate N- and S-linked pathway control states (N versus S). NS-linked ET capacity was 262±41 pmol∙s-1∙mg-1 Ww independent of the presence or absence of 0.2 mM octanoyl carnitine (F). This is the highest value so far reported for mammalian skeletal muscle. Top human endurance athletes have a NS-linked ET capacity approaching 200 pmol∙s-1∙mg-1 Ww [3], compared to 153±19 pmol∙s-1∙mg-1 Ww in competitive racing horses [4].
