| Summary | Liver mitochondria were isolated from rats that had been deprived of the essential fatty acids in their diets. The isolated mitochondria were tested for respiratory control to make certain that they were capable of carrying out oxidative phosphorylation and ion accumulation. Mitochondria were incubated at room temperature in the presence of Phosphorous-32 and Calcium-45. They were compared with mitochondria from rats that had received a parallel diet that had been supplemented with corn oil to restore essential fatty acids. Incubations were conducted in the presence and the absence of ADP for periods of one, two, five, and ten minutes. The data collected appear to show decrease in Pi accumulation relative to Ca by mitochondria upon EFA deficiency. The data revealed no difference in the accumulation ratio between the presence and the absence of ADP in the incubation medium. Finally, there was no difference in the ratio between various incubation periods. |
