Abstract: | Summary Isolated human term placenta mitochondria catalyse oxidation of external NADH in the presence of cytochrome c. This reaction is insensitive to the respiratory chain inhibitors such as rotenone and antimycin A, and is not coupled to phosphorylation. Comparison of the effect of Mg++ ion on NADH plus cytochrome c oxidation by human term placental, human skeletal muscle and rat skeletal mitochondria showed that Mg++ ion exerts an inhibitory effect in the case of human mitochondria and a stimulatory effect in the case of rat skeletal muscle mitochondria.This work has been supported by a grant from Ministry of Higher Education Science and Technology within the project No. 01.02. |
