✦ Synopsis


Effects of Cd ‫2‬ and two complexes of bivalent cadmium with 1,3-bis(4-chlorbenzylidenamino)-guanidine and anabasine on ion permeability of the inner membrane and respiration of isolated rat liver mitochondria were studied. Starting from 5 lM, Cd ‫2‬ decreased state 3 and DNP-stimulated respiration of mitochondria and increased their state 4 respiration. At 30 lM, Cd ‫2‬ decreased state 4 respiration. The complexes, particularly complex of Cd ‫2‬ with 1,3-bis(4chlorbenzylidenamino)-guanidine, inhibited the mitochondrial respiration at lower concentration of Cd ‫2‬ . Nonenergized mitochondria incubated in media containing 125 mM of NH 4 NO 3 or KNO 3 showed more pronounced swelling in experiments with 10 lM of the complexes than with Cd ‫2‬ . The complexes produced swelling of the mitochondria energized by 5 mM of succinate and incubated in medium containing 25 mM K-acetate and 100 mM sucrose. Uptake of 137-Cs by succinate-energized mitochondria in the presence of 10 ‫8‬ M of valinomycin was substantially decreased in experiments with 10 lM of the complexes than with Cd ‫2‬ . Ruthenium red (7.5 lM) prevented this effect with 10 lM of complex of Cd ‫2‬ with 1,3-bis(4-chlorbenzylidenamino)-guanidine and especially complex of Cd ‫2‬ with anabasine and Cd ‫2‬ . These results indicate that the cadmium organic complexes affect respiration and perturb ion permeability significantly stronger than Cd ‫2‬ .
