The title of the study is: The Mitochondria as Regulators of Inflammation in Sepsis. A.2 BACKGROUND Dr. Zuckerbraun is requesting to purchase a high-resolution respirometer consisting of a high-fidelity oxygen electrode in a temperature- and volume-controlled environment, allowing users to accurately measure mitochondrial oxygen consumption as a function of both time and of substrates added to respiration medium. Exceptional precision is required for evaluation of individual mitochondrial pathways that lead to oxygen consumption, allowing for identification of specific mitochondrial defects that may play a role in the pathogenesis of sepsis in murine models. The requisitioned device is the High Resolution O2k FluoRespirometer (Series H) with O2k-TPP+ ISE module, which allows for simultaneous measurement of the membrane potential across the inner mitochondrial membrane to provide further information about energy production in the pathogenesis of septic shock.
