A Demonstration of Dehydrogenase Activity in the Mitochondria of Living Cells
نویسنده
چکیده
A method is described whereby fresh specimens of neural tissues are examined in squashes under the phase microscope. When squashed in contact with the sensitive tetrazolium derivative known as ' INT' , granules of formazan are precipitated around the mitochondria within the neurocytoplasm. Application of these techniques to squashes of the spinal cord of the ray has given a direct demonstration of the dehydrogenase activity of mitochondria within fibres of the white matter of the cord.

Histochemical Demonstration of Dehydrogenase Activity in the Cells of Normal Human Blood and Bone Marrow
Endogenous and succinic dehydrogenase activity was demonstrated in the living cells of normal human blood and bone marrow using a buffered nitro BT-succinate incubating solution. With this technique dehydrogenase activity was localized primarily in the granular leukocytes and the sites of enzymatic activity appeared to be non-mitochondrial. The addition of a non-ionic surface active agent to th...

Background & Aim: Hexokinase type I is the most predominant form of the enzyme in brain. It binds reversibly to the outer mitochondria membrane. In normal condition the major part of the enzyme binds to the membrane. Membrane bound form of the enzyme is more active than the soluble form, so this is more a control mechanism of the enzyme activity. Those metabolites that affect the binding or...

Background Ovarian tissue cryopreservation represents a promising strategy to preserve the ovarian function in cancer patients. It is usually performed by slow freezing/rapid thawing (SF/RT). Recent studies emphasize an ultrarapid cryopreservation procedure, vitrification/warming (V/W), since it might prevent damages due to ice crystal formation. Comparative studies between the cryopreservation...
متن کاملA comparative QSAR analysis, molecular docking and PLIF studies of some N-arylphenyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide analogues as anticancer agents
Dichloroacetate (DCA) is a simple and small anticancer drug that arouses the activity of the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) through inhibition of the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDK1-4). DCA can selectively promote mitochondria-regulated apoptosis, depolarizing the hyperpolarized inner mitochondrial membrane potential to normal levels, inhibit tumor growth and reduce proliferati...
