✦ Synopsis

Liver mitochondria were exposed in vitro at 30 degrees C to microwave radiation (2.45 GHz) during the following states of respiration: resting, state 1; substrate dependent, state 2; ADP stimulated, state 3; and ADP depleted, state 4. At 10 or 100 mW/g, with succinate as substrate, no effect of exposure was observed on states 1-4 or the respiratory control index (state 3/state 4) of either tightly or loosely coupled mitochondria. When glutamate was used as substrate, no effects were observed at 10 mW/g. However, in the loosely coupled mitochondria the 100 mW/g exposure produced an increase in states 2 and 4 and a decrease in the respiratory control index. The results suggest that the function of loosely coupled mitochondria can be affected at high power levels of microwave radiation.

The effect of Ca 2ϩ -binding protein regucalcin on Ca 2ϩ -ATPase activity in isolated rat liver mitochondria was investigated. The presence of regucalcin (0.1, 0.25, and 0.5 M) in the enzyme reaction mixture led to a significant increase in Ca 2ϩ -ATPase activity. Regucalcin significantly stimulated

## Abstract Previously mildronate, an aza‐butyrobetaine derivative, was shown to be a cytoprotective drug, through its mechanism of action of inhibition of carnitine palmitoyltransferase‐1, thus protecting mitochondria from long‐chain fatty acid accumulation and subsequent damage. Recently in an az
