Abstrakt: Mitochondrial bioenergetics in females and males is different. However, whether mitochondria from male and female brains display differences in enzymes of oxidative phosphorylation remains unknown. Therefore, we characterized mitochondrial complexes from the brains of male and female macaques (Macaca mulatta). Cerebral tissue from male macaques exhibits elevated content and activity of mitochondrial complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) and higher activity of complex II (succinate dehydrogenase) compared to females. No significant differences between sexes were found in the content of α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase or in the activities of cytochrome c oxidase and F 1 F o ATPase. Our results underscore the need for further investigations to elucidate sex-related mitochondrial differences in humans.
