摘　　要：The source of energy for life is the tissue mitochondria and they demand a complex chain of biochemicals to ensure proper physiological function.Classically,the blood levels,and not the tissue levels of these metabolites,are determined by expensive and time-consuming biochemical analyses.Since the tissue mitochondria are the consumers of the substrates of glycolysis and of fatty acid metabolism,their redox state is a unique accessible monitor of tissue metabolism and its blockade due to toxins.
