Permeability of the mitochondrial membrane to bicarbonate ions.

چکیده
Osmotic-swelling techniques show that HCO3- enters mitochondria by an electrogenic process, effectively HCO3- uniport, under non-energized conditions. This mode of translocation accounts for previous reports of non-entry of HCO3- in experiments with energy-linked Ca2+ uptake. The effects of HCO3- on mitochondrial respiration are reported and discussed.

Methanol extract and fraction of Anchomanes difformis root tuber modulate liver mitochondrial membrane permeability transition pore opening in rats
Objective: Extracts of Anchomanes difformis (AD) are used in folkloric medicine to treat several diseases and infections. However, their roles in mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening are not known. Material and Methods: The viability of mitochondria isolated from Wistar rat liver used in this experiment, was assessed by monitoring their swel...
متن کاملDetermining whether positively-charged channel-forming molecules of polyene antibiotic with aromatic groups affect muscle activity?
This article evaluates the effect of membrane active channel-forming polyene antibiotic (PA) of levorin and its alkyl derivatives on the muscle performance. The membrane channels of muscle cells are capable to transport ions of potassium, sodium, and calcium. In the period of an intensive muscle exercise, the necessity for organic substrates increases and these channels start to work with the g...

متن کاملInvolvement of Four Different Intracellular Sites in Chloroacetaldehyde- Induced Oxidative Stress Cytotoxicity
Chloroacetaldehyde (CAA) is a chlorination by-product in finished drinking water and a toxic metabolite of a wide variety of industrial chemicals (e.g. vinyl chloride) and chemotherapeutic agents (e.g. cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide). In this research, the cytotoxic mechanisms of CAA in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes were investigated.CAA cytotoxicity was associated with reactive oxygen spec...
