Abstract

Liver mitochondria isolated from vanadate-administered rats showed increased (20-25%) rates of oxidn. of both NAD-linked substrates and succinate. Respiratory control index and ADP/O were unaffected by the treatment. Dormant and uncoupler-stimulated ATPase activity also was not affected by vanadate administration. Membrane-bound, electron transport-linked dehydrogenase activities (both NAD- and succinate-dependent) increased by 15-20% on vanadate treatment. Mitochondrial \alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase activity increased by 50% on vanadate administration. The above effects of vanadate on oxidoreductase activities could be prevented by the prior administration of antagonists to \alpha-adrenergic receptors. Substrate-dependent H2O2 generation by mitochondria also showed an increase on vanadate administration
