摘要: Peroxynitrite has been reported to inhibit irreversibly mitochondrial respiration. Here we show that three sequential additions of 200 microM peroxynitrite (initial concentration) rat brain mitochondria (0.2 mg protein/ml) significantly stimulated state 4 respiration and further progressively inhibited it. No stimulation 3 or the maximal enzymatic activities respiratory chain complexes was observed on identical exposure. State is a consequence proton permeability inner membrane, demonstrate peroxynitrite-induced accompanied by decreased membrane potential, suggesting an increase in this leak. Cyclosporin A did not affect stimulation, no involvement transition pore. The prevented lipid-soluble vitamin E analogue Trolox, lipid peroxidation, proposed mechanism cytotoxicity. Lipid peroxidation previously bilayer permeability. high polyunsaturate content phospholipids may predispose them thus peroxynitrite-induced, peroxidation-mediated leak apply particularly certain neurodegenerative disorders thought proceed via mechanisms oxidative damage.
