Abstract
The accumulation of succinate under hypoxic/ischaemic conditions is conserved across diverse tissues and species, 2 and succinate accumulatedduringischaemiaplaysacentralroleinmediatingdamageupontissue reperfusion, i.e., ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. 3 There are two proposed mechanisms of ischaemic succinate accumulation: in one, reversal of mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase (complex II) reduces fumarate to succinate, while in the other, succinate originates from canonicalKrebs'cycleactivitywithcomplexIIinhibitedduetoreductionof the co-enzyme Q pool.
