L-3-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase from pig brain mitochondria.
1. A method is described for extraction and partial purification of mitochondrial l-3-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase from pig brain. 2. By the criteria that have so far been applied, the extraction and purification procedures do not modify the activity of the enzyme towards artificial electron acceptors. 3. The amounts of acid-liberatable flavine and iron in the preparation were measured. 4. A ...
متن کاملToxicity of atorvastatin on isolated brain mitochondria
Background: Although the bio kinetics, metabolism and chemical toxicity of Atorvastatin are well known, until recently little attention was paid to the potential neurotoxic effect of Atorvastatin (Atv). Regarding the concrete evidences indicating Atv may reduce Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) levels through blockage of metalonate cycle, the present work aims to determine if Atorvastatin may provide toxic...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of glycerophosphate acyltransferase from rat liver mitochondria.
Glycerophosphate acyltransferase (GAT) catalyzes the conversion of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate to lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), the first and committed step of triacylglycerol and phospholipid synthesis. In spite of the important regulatory roles GAT may play in this biosynthetic pathway, little information is available on the structure, biochemical properties, and regulation of GAT from eukaryotic ...
متن کاملGlycerophosphate-dependent hydrogen peroxide production by rat liver mitochondria.
We studied the extent to which hormonally-induced mitochondrial glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (mGPDH) activity contributes to the supply of reducing equivalents to the mitochondrial respiratory chain in the rat liver. The activity of glycerophosphate oxidase was compared with those of NADH oxidase and/or succinate oxidase. It was found that triiodothyronine-activated mGPDH represents almost th...
متن کاملBRAIN MITOCHONDRIA I. Isolation of Bovine Brain Mitochondria
Two methods of preparing a mitochondrial fraction from beef brain cortex are described. Data are presented on the rate of oxidation of substrates, P/O and respiratory control ratios, cholinesterase activity, and DNA content. Electron micrographs of isolated mitochondria and mitochondria in situ are shown. Comparisons are drawn between these preparations and mitochondria prepared in 0.25 M sucro...
