The influence of N2O on O2 consumption by mitochondria isolated from the cerebral cortex of goats was examined in incubations preequilibrated with N2O-O2 or N2-O2. Rates of O2 consumption were measured polarographically in a closed system while adenosine triphosphate (ATP) formation was maximal (after addition of excess adenosine diphosphate (ADP), state 3 respiration) and then when it was at zero (after addition of excess oligomycin, state 4 respiration). Compared with 90% N2, 90% N2O produced no change in the rate of state 3 respiration; but an observed 9% decrease in the state 4 rate and an 11% increase in the state 3: state 4 ratio were statistically significant (P less than 0.05). These differences were not seen with N2 and N2O at 70% rather than at 90%, or when succinate rather than pyruvate-malate was used as the respiratory substrate. We conclude the following: Unlike other inhalation anesthetics, N2O at comparable anesthetic concentrations does not inhibit mitochondrial electron transport or ATP formation coupled to it (oxidative phosphorylation). N2O does inhibit one or more other processes, as yet unidentified, which are energetically coupled to electron transport. The increased cerebral O2 consumption that accompanies N2O anesthesia cannot be attributed to a direct effect of N2O on mitochondrial respiration.
