Fumarate can be a surrogate for O<sub>2</sub> as a terminal electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. Reduction of fumarate produces succinate, which can be exported. It is debated whether intact tissues can import and oxidize succinate produced by other tissues. In a previous report, we showed that mitochondria in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-choroid preparations can use succinate to reduce O<sub>2</sub> to H<sub>2</sub>O. However, cells in that preparation could have been disrupte ...[more]
