Dysfunctions of the mitochondrial electron transport chain cause severe, currently untreatable, diseases in humans. A new study by Jain et al. (2019) reports increased oxygen levels in the brain of complex-I-deficient mice. Reducing the O2 levels by hypoxia, carbon monoxide, or anemia, improved the clinical phenotype and prolonged the lifespan of the mouse model.

Abstract
Dysfunctions of the mitochondrial electron transport chain cause severe, currently untreatable, diseases in humans. A new study by Jain et al. (2019) reports increased oxygen levels in the brain of complex-I-deficient mice. Reducing the O2 levels by hypoxia, carbon monoxide, or anemia, improved the clinical phenotype and prolonged the lifespan of the mouse model.
