Abstract
In isolated rat liver mitochondria, respiration was competitively inhibited by medium chain length (C8 to C13) dicarboxylic acids to different extents: the higher the number of carbon atoms up to C12, the greater the inhibition. In particular, experiments on submitochondrial particles showed that the competitive inhibition concerned the following enzymes: NADH dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase and reduced ubiquinone: cytochrome c oxido-reductase. These results tend to confirm the suggestion that the melanocytotoxic effect of dicarboxylic acids, which are also competitive inhibitors of tyrosinase, may be primarily due to an antimitochondrial effect rather than being tyrosinase-dependent.Entities:
