We have reported that there is a limitation of exercise capacity in mice with defects in the expression of endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase, which is associated with a greater increase in whole-body oxygen consumption (VO2). We hypothesized that in states in which superoxide anion (O2-) is increased, especially in the mitochondria, whole-body VO2 will be increased because of the inactivation of NO, and consequently, exercise capacity will be reduced.
