The impact of this process has mainly been studied in the short term, from the early hours up to one week after blood flow reperfusion, and in the ischemic hemisphere only. The focus of this study was to assess the long-term impacts of I\/R on mitochondrial functionality using high-resolution fluorespirometry to evaluate state-dependent activities in both ischemic (ipsilateral) and non-ischemic (contralateral) hemispheres of male mice 60, 90, 120, and 180 days after I\/R caused by 60-min-long filament-induced middle cerebral artery occlusion (fMCAo). Our results indicate that in cortical tissues, succinate-supported oxygen flux (Complex I&amp;II OXPHOS state) and H2O2 production (Complex II LEAK state) were significantly decreased in the fMCAo (stroke) group ipsilateral hemisphere compared to measurements in the contralateral hemisphere 60 and 90 days after stroke. In hippocampal tissues, during the Complex I&amp;II ET state, mitochondrial respiration was generally lower in the ipsilateral compared to the contralateral hemisphere 90 days following stroke. An aging-dependent impact on mitochondria oxygen consumption following I\/R injury was observed 180 days after surgery, wherein Complex I&amp;II activities were lowest in both hemispheres. The obtained results highlight the importance of long-term studies in the field of ischemic stroke, particularly when evaluating mitochondrial bioenergetics in specific brain regions within and between separately affected cerebral hemispheres.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/antiox13040416","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,4]],"date-time":"2024-04-04T11:11:09Z","timestamp":1712229069000},"page":"416","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Long-Term Region-Specific Mitochondrial Functionality Changes in Both Cerebral Hemispheres after fMCAo Model of Ischemic Stroke"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Ksenija L\u016bcija","family":"Bahire","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Latvia, LV-1586 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Reinis","family":"Ma\u013cuhins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Latvia, LV-1586 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fiona","family":"Bello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Latvia, LV-1586 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jolanta","family":"Up\u012bte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Latvia, LV-1586 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aleksandrs","family":"Makarovs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Latvia, LV-1586 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4062-3363","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Baiba","family":"Jansone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Latvia, LV-1586 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"335","DOI":"10.1007\/s00709-019-01439-2","article-title":"Ischemic stroke and mitochondria: Mechanisms and targets","volume":"257","author":"Andrabi","year":"2020","journal-title":"Protoplasma"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"199","DOI":"10.1038\/s43587-022-00191-2","article-title":"Pleiotropic effects of mitochondria in aging","volume":"2","author":"Lima","year":"2022","journal-title":"Nat.
