An improved procedure for the isolation of mitochondria in high yields from normal and oxygen-deficient myocardium is described. The heart muscle is digested with Nagarse and homogenized simultaneously using a Polytron tissue homogenizer. Mitochondria are isolated by differential centrifugation, and

Existing procedures for the preparation of rat liver plasma membranes are time consuming and generally produce low yields. A method is described in which a rat liver homogenate low-speed pellet is fractionated on a self-forming Percoll gradient. Plasma membranes can be removed from the gradient in a
In previous communications (1, 2) we have presented evidence that rat liver mitochondria, when isolated under rigorously controlled conditions, retain their capacity for oxidative phosphorylation after treatments generally considered to be highly detrimental. In particular, a study was described of
A method for isolation of rat hepatocytes using liver perfusion by ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA)-containing sucrose solution and mechanical tissue disaggregation by controlled vibration (MVD) is described. The yields of hepatocytes produced by this method were similar to those obtained us
## Abstract Previously mildronate, an azaβbutyrobetaine derivative, was shown to be a cytoprotective drug, through its mechanism of action of inhibition of carnitine palmitoyltransferaseβ1, thus protecting mitochondria from longβchain fatty acid accumulation and subsequent damage. Recently in an az
