The purpose of this work was to analyze the contribution of the mitochondria to the optical properties, i.e., light absorption and scattering, of the blood-free rat liver. Firstly, a theoretical model of the reduced scattering coefficient of the liver was performed by using the Mie theory, the Rayleigh-Debye-Gans approximation, and the electron microscopy descriptions of the liver ultrastructur...

arsenic exposure mainly through food and water has been shown to be associated with increased incidence of numerous cancers and non-cancer harmful health. it is also used in cancer chemotherapy and treatment of several cancer types due to its apoptogenic effects in the various cancer and normal cell lines. we have already reported that liver is the storage site and important target organ in as ...

Hypochlorite (HOCl) is one of the most important mediators inflammatory processes. Recent evidence demonstrates that changes in intracellular calcium pool play a significant role damaging effects hypochlorite and other oxidants. Mitochondria are shown to be targets hypochlorite. But little known about mitochondrial HOCl-induced dysfunction. Using isolated rat liver mitochondria, we showed oxida...

L-[U-W]Leucine incorporation into the trichloroacetic acid-precipitable fraction of mitochondria after incubation with succinate as energy source was significantly higher with normal rat liver mitochondria than with hypophysectomized rat liver mitochondria. The incorporation was sensitive to inhibition by chloramphenicol, terramycin, dinitrophenol, and NaCN, but not to RNase and cycloheximide. ...

The enzymes of prolinsglutamate oxidation and the preparation of their substrates have been described by Strecker and coworkers. [ 1,3] . The presence of proline oxidase in rat liver mitochondria was described by Johnson and Strecker [2]. A rough localisation of proline oxidase and A-pyrroline&carboxylic acid dehydrogenase in locust flight muscle has been attempted by Brosemer and Veerabhadrapp...

conclusions our results suggest that h. parva and h. oculata may be promising therapeutic candidates for the treatment of hcc, following further confirmatory in vivo experiments and clinical trials. results our results showed that h. parva methanolic extracts (250, 500, and 1000 µg/ml) and h. oculata methanolic extracts (200, 400, and 800 µg/ml) increased reactive oxygen species (ros) formation...

Oxidation was found to be efficiently coupled with phosphorylation in the liver mitochondria of the rat bearing Walker carcinoma 256. With succinate as substrate, the rates of oxidation and phosphorylation by the liver mitochondria of the tumor-bearing rat did not differ from the normal. The P:O ratios were 1.4 for the normal and 1.2 for the tumor-bearing rats. With j8-hydroxybutyrate as substr...
