Photodynamic Action of Phloxine on Mitochondrial Respiration

Cisplatin cytotoxicity is dependent on mitochondrial respiration in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Objective(s): To understand the role of mitochondrial respiration in cisplatin sensitivity, we have employed wild-type and mitochondrial DNA depleted Rho0 yeast cells. Materials and Methods: Wild type and Rho0 yeast cultured in fermentable and non-fermentable sugar containing media, were studied for their sensitivity against cisplatin by monitoring growth curves, oxygen consumption, pH changes ...

Effects of Ferric Nucleotides on Mitochondrial Respiration.

The Photodynamic Action of Light on Hydra.

Hydra were known to react to light as early as 1744 when Trembley first described their movement towards a light source. This migration of the animal was then further elucidated by Wilson in 1891, who found that Hydra viridis and fusca are maximally sensitive to blue light. Haug ( ' 3 3 ) found that Hydra will react to a light stimulus by contracting first and then orienting; and Rushforth, Bur...

The Action of Drugs on Respiration

1. The depressant drugs which have been studied in this series of experiments were found to resemble morphine and heroine in that they depressed expiration more than inspiration, but they acted only in narcotic doses and always depressed inspiration at the same time. Ether caused a sharp expiratory rhythm, persisting until narcosis was very deep, probably a result of irritation of the air passa...
