Abstract
⺠Defective complex I (CI) is the most common type of oxidative phosphorylation disease. ⺠Transcriptomics identified novel molecular processes underlying CI deficiency in fibroblasts of patients. ⺠The Nrf2 pathway is induced in fibroblasts of complex I deficient patients. ⺠Disturbed calcium homeostasis in complex I deficiency can be related to selenoproteins. ⺠Glutathione and selenium metabolism are potentially therapeutic targets in CI deficiency.
