The author studied the actions of ouabain and diphenylhydantoin sodium on the ATPase activity in mitochondrial fraction isolated from rabbit heart and compared with that of quinidine. The results obtained are as follows: 1) In studying the $(Na^++K^+)-activated$ ATPase activity, the rabbit heart isolated was immediately frozen for 7-9 days (ageing of preparation) and thereafter the mitochondria1 fraction obtained by differential centrifugation technic was treated with solution A containing 0.15% deoxycholate for 24-48 hours at $-10^{\circ}C$ before using in experiment. These methods increased the activity ratio to 0.87-0.98. 2) The $(Na^++K^+)-activated$ ATPase activity in mitochondrial fraction of rabbit heart was not completely but markedly inhibited by ouabain. This inhibitory action of ouabain was moderately antagonised by $K^+$ concentration at constant Na concentration. 3) Diphenylhydantoin sodium in concentration of $5{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}10^{-3}M$ stimulated markedly not only $Mg^{++}-dependent$ ATPase activity but also $(Na^++K^+)$-activated ATPase activity and in concentration lower than $10^{-6}M$ had little effect. However, this effect of diphenylhydantoin was markedly increased in the presence of $Na^+$ alone rather than $K^+$ alone, but lesser than that effect in the presence of both $Na^+$ and $K^+$, together. The stimulating effect of diphenylhydantoin was specifically antagonized by ouabaion. 4) When the rabbits were intravenously injected with ouabain and diphenylhydantion respectively, $(Na^++K^+)-activated$ ATPase activity of rabbit heart of ouabain-treated group was much decreased and both $(Na^++K^+)-activated$ ATPase and $Mg^{++}-activated$ ATPase activity were moderately increased in diphenylhydantoin-treated rabbit group. 5) The $(Na^++K^+)-activated$ ATPase activity in mitochondrial fraction of rabbit heart was slightly inhibited by quinidine in high concentration of $10^{-4}M$, but nearly little effect was observed below the concentration of $5{\times}10^{-5}M$. 6) It might be possible to conclude that diphenylhydantoin specifically antagonised the action of ouabain on the membrane ATPase, which is different from the action of quinidine.

Cardiac, hepatic and renal mitochondria in rats fed lead containing diets were isolated and their activities were studied in terms of NADH oxidation. In normal rats, cardiac and renal mitochondria had similar activities and showed activity values of higher than those in hepatic mitochondria. Cardiac mitochondiral activities in rats fed lead containing diets were increased after 4 weeks of feeding but decreased to activity values close to normal. Renal mitochondrial activities showed a trend of inhibition in all groups fed lead containing diets but were no differenes by feeding periods of 4 and 8 weeks. Feeding of lead containing diets could not be attributed to any changes in the hepatic mitochondrial antivities at experimental doses during 4~8 weeks.

포스포리파제 D(PLD)는 인지질의 말단염기를 가수분해하여 phosphatidic acid(PA)와 염기로 분리시키는 효소이다. 본 연구는 쥐의 뇌에서 분리한 미토콘드리아 분획에서 PLD를 활성에 미치는 spermine의 영향을 조사하였다. 올레산 존재하에서 spermine이 PLD를 활성화시켰으며 $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$ 그리고 $Ba^{2+}$는 spermine의 영향을 더욱 강화시켜주는 것으로 나타났다. 다른 아민들은 별 효과가 없었으나 histamine경우 높은 농도에서 PLD를 활성화시켰다. Polylysine들도 PLD를 활성화시켰으며 그 길이가 길수옥 더욱 효과적으로 작용하였다. 기질 특이성에 있어서는 phosphatidylcholine(PC)과 phosphatidylethanolamine(PE) 사이에 큰 차이를 보이지는 않았다. 이 기질 특이성은 쥐 소장 미토콘드리아 PLD의 PE 특이성과 상이한 것으로 나타났다.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of washing medium, breed and washing temperature of fresh and frozen-thawed boar sperm on mitochondrial activity and membrane integrity by flow cytometry. More than $80\%$ of fresh sperm washed with mTLP-PVA medium at $20^{\circ}C$ exhibited an intact membrane and a functional mitochondrion. With frozen-thawed samples, a large number of sperm showed both damaged membrane $(36.4\~46.9\%)$ and nonfunctional mitochondrion $(55.1\~71.1\%)$ in the mTLP-PVA and BTS washing media at $20^{\circ}C$. There were no breed effects of fresh and frozen-thawed sperm on mitochondrial activity and membrane integrity. The percentages of damaged membrane of fresh and frozen sperm, respectively, were higher at $4^{\circ}C$ washing temperature than at $20^{\circ}C$ washing temperature in the mTLP-PVA medium. We found that washing medium and washing temperature of fresh and frozen-thawed boar sperm were important for the analyses of mitochondrial activity and membrane integrity by flow cytometry.

This study evaluated the effect of $\alpha$-tocopherol ($\alpha$-TC), ischemic preconditioning (IPC) or a combination on the extent of mitochondrial injury caused by hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Rats were pretreated with $\alpha$-TC (20 mg/kg per day, i.p.) for 3 days before sustained ischemia. A rat liver was preconditioned with 10 min of ischemia and 10 min of reperfusion, and was then subjected to 90 min of ischemia followed by 5 h or 24 h of reperfusion. I/R increased the aminotransferase activity and mitochondrial lipid peroxidation, whereas it decreased the mitochondrial glutamate dehydrogenase activity. $\alpha$-TC and IPC individually attenuated these changes. $\alpha$-TC combined with IPC ($\alpha$-TC+IPC) did not further attenuate the changes. The mitochondrial glutathione content decreased after 5 h reperfusion. This decrease was attenuated by $\alpha$-TC, IPC, and $\alpha$-TC+IPC. The significant production of peroxides observed after 10 min reperfusion subsequent to sustained ischemia was attenuated by $\alpha$-TC, IPC, and $\alpha$-TC+IPC. The mitochondria isolated after I/R were rapidly swollen. However, this swelling rate was reduced by $\alpha$­TC, IPC, and $\alpha$-TC+IPC. These results suggest that either $\alpha$-TC or IPC reduces the level of mitochondrial damage associated with oxidative stress caused by hepatic I/R, but $\alpha$- TC combined with IPC offers no significant additional protection.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of two well-known natural antioxidants, vitamin C (VC) and vitamin E (VE), on the antifungal activity of honokiol against Candida albicans. The broth microdilution method was employed to test the antifungal activities of honokiol with or without antioxidants in the medium against C. albicans strain. Intracellular reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation were determined by fluorescence staining assay. Mitochondrial dysfunction was assessed by detecting the mitochondrial DNA and the mitochondrial membrane potential. We observed that VC could significantly potentiate the antifungal activities of honokiol while VE reduced the effectiveness of honokiol against C. albicans. In addition, VC accelerated honokiol-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and inhibited glycolysis leading to a decrease in cellular ATP. However, VE could protect against mitochondrial membrane lipid peroxidation and rescue mitochondrial function after honokiol treatment. Our research provides new insight into the understanding of the action mechanism of honokiol and VC combination against C. albicans.

본 연구는 미토콘드리아 malate dehydrogenase활성을 이용하여 냉장계육과 냉동계육의 판별법을 개발하기 위하여 실시되었다. 단백질의 함량은 8.5mg/mL에서 12.7mg/mL 범위로 나타났으며, 동일 저장 기간 동안의 온도 별 차이점은 모든 부위에서 1일에서 15일 저장기간이 길어짐에 따라 단백질함량이 늘어나는 경향을 보인다. 냉장육의 보수력은 저장 기간 1일 60.5%에서 15일 33.9%로 감소하였으며 유의적 차이는 없었다(p＞0.05). 냉장계육과 냉동계육은 저장 기간이 길어짐에 따라 육즙손실량이 증가하였으며 유의적 차이는 없었다.(p＞0.05). 냉장계육의 육즙손실량이 냉동계육의 육즙손실량보다 낮게 나타났다. 냉장계육과 냉동계육 간의 mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase의 활성은 냉동계육이 냉장계육보다 효소활성이 높게 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구결과로부터 mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase의 활성 여부로 계육의 냉장, 냉동 유무를 판별하는데 유효한 지표로 사용 가능한 것으로 사료되었다.

Propamidine, an aromatic diamidine compound, is widely used as an antimicrobial agent. To uncover its mechanism on pathogenetic fungi, Botrytis cinerea as an object was used to investigate effects of propamidine in this paper. The transmission electron microscope results showed that the mitochondrial membranes were collapsed after propamidine treatment, followed that mitochondria were disrupted. Inhibition of whole-cell and mitochondrial respiration by propamidine suggested that Propamidine is most likely an inhibitor of electron transport within Botrytis cinerea mitochondria. Furthermore, the mitochondrial complex III activity were inhibited by propamidine.

Mitochondrial activity affects skeletal muscle energy metabolism and phenotype. To address whether mitochondrial activity can modulate muscle phenotype in vitro, protein expression of myosin heavy chain (MyHC) in C2C12 muscle cell lines was investigated after treated with antimycin A, an inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria. Fully differentiated C2C12 myotubes were administrated with different concentration of antimycin A including 0, 100, 200, 500, 700, and 1000 ng/mL. After 72 h treatment, myosin heavy chain isoform expression and related enzyme activity (lactate dehydrogenase; LDH and creatine kinase) were analyzed. Administration of antimycin A changed expression of MyHC in C2C12 myotubes showing a shift from slow to fast twitching muscle type. Protein expression of MyHC type 2b (fast twitching muscle type) was decreased (P < 0.05) by antimycin A treatment (500, 700, and 1000 ng/mL) when compared with control group. Administration of antimycin A (1000 ng/mL), however, decreased (P < 0.05) MyHC type I (slow twitching muscle type). Interestingly, LDH activity was increased (P < 0.05) by antimycin A treatment. Results from our current study proposed a possibility that skeletal muscle phenotype, including MyHC and LDH activity, can be shifted from slow to fast twitching type by inhibiting the mitochondrial activity in C2C12 myotubes.

본 실험에서는 ethanol 및 acetaldehyde가 유도하는 MAO 활성변동에 인삼 butanol 분획이 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. Ethanol(1 g/kg)을 mouse 복강내로 투여하였을 때 간장 중 MAO 활성이 현저히 증가하였으며 이러한 작용은 인삼butanol 분획 전처리로 개선되었다. 또한 pyrazole(200mg/kg)을 전처리하였을 때 ethanol에 의해 증가된 간장중 MAO활성이 정상수준으로 감소되었다. 만성적으로 ethanol을 투여한 경우에 있어서도 MAO활성이 증가되었으며 인삼 butaonl분획 전처리로 MAO 활성이 감소됨이 관찰되었다. Ethanol의 대사산물인 acetaldehyde(100mg/kg)을 복강내로 투여하고 관찰한 실험에서도 간장중 MAO활성이 현저하게 증가되었으며 인삼 butanol분획을 전처리함으로써 정상수준 가깝게 MAO활성이 감소되었다. 이 연구결과로 ethanol에 의한 간장중 MAO활성증가는 ethanol의 대사산물인 acetaldehyde에 기인된 것으로 생각되어지며 인삼 butanol분획이 acetaldehyde에 의해 유도되는 간장중 MAO활성 변동을 조절하고 있을 것으로 사료된다.
