## Abstract The content of membraneβbound (COX, SDH) and matrix enzymes (MDH, GOT, GDH) in mitochondria of heart muscle and liver of the mouse has been compared. Ageing of osmotically lysed liver mitochondria has little effect on enzyme stability, except for GDH the activity of which drops by 40%.

Background: Although identified in several bird species, the biological role of the avian homolog of mammalian uncoupling proteins (avUCP) remains extensively debated. In the present study, the functional properties of isolated mitochondria were examined in physiological or pharmacological situation
The plasma membranes of rat heart muscle, grown in cell culture, were made permeable with saponin in a Ca-free solution. The cells were then supplied with a medium resembling the cytosol, and the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)dependent Ca2+ sequestration was measured in the presence of oxalate. The no
