State 4
From Bioblast
Respiratory state of isolated mitochondria obtained after complete phosphorylation of added ADP to ATP, which is LEAK respiration, L(T), or an overestimation of LEAK respiration if ATPase activity prevents final accumulation of ATP and maintains a continuous stimulation of respiration by recycled ADP.
