Blue Light-Induced Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species in Photoreceptor Ellipsoids Requires Mitochondrial Electron Transport

To investigate whether photoreceptor ellipsoids generate reactive oxygen species (rOx) after blue light illumination. Cultured salamander photoreceptors were exposed to blue light (480 +/- 10 nm; 10 mW/cm(2)). The light-induced catalytic redox activity in the culture was monitored with the use of 3,...
