The activities of citrate synthase, NAD-isocitrate dehydrogenase and 2-oxoglutarate
dehydrogenase were measured in homogenates of soleus, diaphragm and heart muscles of …

1. State-3 (ie ADP-stimulated) rates of O2 uptake with palmitoylcarnitine, palmitoyl-CoA plus
carnitine, pyruvate plus malonate plus carnitine and octanoate as respiratory substrate were …

1. The activity of an enzyme of the fatty acid oxidation cycle is compared to the activity of
both short-and long-chain carnitine acyltransferase in organs of rat, pigeon and locust. 2. 2 …

In the earlier work on the oxidation of fatty acids in vitro only fatty acids of short chain length
could be utilized with an appreciable activity xs. The stimulating effect of carnitine on the …

Age-related changes in mitochondrial fatty acids metabolism may underlie the progressive
decline in cardiac function. The effect of aging and acute treatment with acetyl-L-carnitine on …

Aging is associated with alterations of various aspects of cell functions. It is a common
observation that aged animals tend to be less energetic. The molecular basis of this age …

Thus a participation of carnitine in metabolism by forming another type of" activated" acetic
acid was directly demonstrated. On the other hand carnitine had been shown to be a …

Objective: The objective was to examine mitochondrial oxidative metabolism of long chain
fatty acids and to compare it with glucose uptake and the generation of pressure-volume …

1. The content of carnitine, acylcarnitine and total acid soluble carnitine in brown adipose
tissue of rats increases rapidly after birth, attaining a peak on about day 10 and then …

It has been reported that mitochondria isolated from hearts of old rats have lower respiratory
activity than mitochondria from young rats. In order to determine the physiological correlates …
