Abstract
Cellular metabolism requires a continuous energy supply that is furnished largely by adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is synthesized in the mitochondrial electron transport chain from adenosine diphosphate (ADP), inorganic phosphate, NADH and oxygen. Since 80–90% of total oxygen consumption in humans is destined to the synthesis of high-energy compounds, oxygen availability is essential for cellular ATP recharge.
