The Ca(2+)-activated myosin-ATPase and its dependence on hypoxia were assessed in freshwater turtle, rainbow trout, and in some cases rat. At 20 degrees C and pH 7.3, the maximal ATPase activity was (mean +/- SEM): turtle 0.040 +/- 0.003, trout 0.090 +/- 0.005, and rat 0.12 +/- 0.004 mmol\*min-1\*g-
In skeletal muscle, creatine kinase imposes constraints on the concentrations of phosphocreatine, creatine, ATP and ADP, which complicate our understanding of the regulation of mitochondrial ATP synthesis, because correlations between oxidation rate \((Q)\) and metabolite concentrations cannot prove
Morphological observations in some tissues indicate that dietary copper deficiency results in structural damage to mitochondria. The purpose of this" study was to determine whether mitochondrial function is impaired as well. Male, weanling Sprague-Dawley rats were fed diets deficient or sufficient i
