Maintenance of the mitochondrial membrane potential (Deltapsim) is fundamental for the normal performance and survival of cells such as cardiomyocytes, that have a high energy requirement. Measurement of Deltapsim is therefore essential in order to develop an understanding of the molecular mechanisms controlling cardiomyocyte function. Here we have evaluated various potentiometric dyes for their ability to detect alterations of Deltapsim, using flow cytometry and confocal microscopy.
