Abstract
The influence of substrates on the role of cyclosporin A, to promote the closure of the permeability transition pore, was studied. It was found that in succinate-oxidizing mitochondria, cyclosporin inhibited pore opening as induced by carboxyatractyloside. The opposite occurred when mitochondrial respiration was supported by malate-glutamate, i.e., cyclosporin A was unable to block pore opening promoted by carboxyatractyloside. We propose that the failure of cyclosporin A to induce pore closure could be due to a low NADH matrix content.Entities:
