Abstract
► Mitochondrial function and redox status are impaired in a mouse model of Rett syndrome. ► The ratio of FAD/NADH autofluorescence is shifted toward oxidation in Mecp2−/y hippocampus. ► Cytosolic redox balance is more oxidizing and more vulnerable. ► Mitochondrial inhibition causes exaggerated redox responses. ► A radical scavenger improves redox homeostasis and qualifies as a potential pharmacotherapy.
