Optimized protocol for quantification of mitochondrial non-heme and heme iron content in mouse tissues and cultured cells.

Impaired mitochondrial iron metabolism is associated with aging and a variety of diseases, and there is a growing need to accurately quantify mitochondrial iron levels. This protocol provides an optimized method for evaluating non-heme and heme iron in mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions of tissues and cultured cells. Our protocol consists of three steps: sample fractionation, non-heme iron measurement, and heme iron measurement. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Sato et al. (2022).1.Copyright © 2023 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
