Abstract
The development of fluorescence-based oxygen sensors coupled with microplate-based assays for quantitative bioenergetics analyses enables screening multiple experimental conditions at once with small biological material and in a timely manner. In this chapter, we outline detailed protocols and practical tips to design and perform controlled measurements of (a) respiratory and glycolytic metabolism of intact cells, (b) substrate-dependent respiration in permeabilized cells and isolated mitochondria, and (c) calcium-dependent regulation of mitochondrial bioenergetics with Seahorse XF Flux Analyzers.
