Abstract: This study examined whether the steady-state hypometabolism seen in overwintering frogs (Rana temporaria) is reflected at the mitochondrial level either by a reduction in their resting (state 4) and active (state 3) respiration rates and/or by increases in O2 affinity. We isolated mitochondria from the skeletal muscle of cold-submerged frogs at different stages during their hibernation in normoxic and hypoxic water. A modest metabolic depression at the whole animal level (normoxic submergence) was not associated with a reduction in mitochondrial state 4 and state 3 respiration rates. However, mitochondria isolated from frogs that were submerged for 1 mo manifested an increase in their O2 affinity compared with controls and with animals submerged for 4 mo. Hypometabolism was more pronounced at the whole animal level during hypoxic submergence and was accompanied by 1) a reduction in mitochondrial state 4 and state 3 rates and 2) an increase in the O2 affinity of mitochondria. These findings demonstrate that metabolic depression can be reflected at all levels of biological organization in hypoxia-tolerant animals. โข Keywords: Frog, Hypoxia, State 3, State 4, P50
