Mitochondria show context-specific heterogeneity in their morphometry. Previously, we reported that acute TNFα exposure increased O 2 consumption rate (OCR) and mitochondrial volume density, but decreased OCR per mitochondrion. TNFα also altered mitochondrial distribution and motility. To assess TNFα-mediated subcellular mitochondrial structural and functional heterogeneity, we used a confocal-based quantitative histochemical technique to determine the maximum velocity of succinate dehydrogenase reaction. Our findings highlight that mitochondria within cells exhibit functional heterogeneity, which is disrupted during inflammation.
