摘要: Rats treated with hydroxycobalamin[c-lactam] (HCCL), a cobalamin analogue that induces methylmalonic aciduria, have increased hepatic mitochondrial content and oxidative metabolism of pyruvate palmitate per hepatocyte. The present studies were undertaken to characterize in isolated liver mitochondria from rats HCCL. After 5-6 weeks, state 3 oxidation rates for diverse substrates are reduced HCCL-treated rats. Similar reductions obtained dinitrophenol-uncoupled excluding defective phosphorylation as cause the observed decrease oxidation. activities oxidases demonstrate defect complex IV. Investigation complexes respiratory chain reveals 32% ubiquinol:ferricytochrome c oxidoreductase (complex III) activity 72% ferrocytochrome c:oxygen IV) 5-6-week compared controls. Liver also decreased cytochrome mg protein (25% b 52% + a3 control rats). rat represents an animal model study consequences defects mitochondria.
