Succinate Can Shuttle Reducing Power from the Hypoxic Retina to the O2-Rich Pigment Epithelium

Summary: When O2 is plentiful, the mitochondrial electron transport chain uses it as a terminal electron acceptor. However, the mammalian retina thrives in a hypoxic niche in the eye. We find that mitochondria in retinas adapt to their hypoxic environment by reversing the succinate dehydrogenase rea...
