Abstract
The ratio of ATP content/ADP content in the mitochondrial matrix was found to be 2.07 +/- 0.21 and 2.26 +/- 0.22 as determined with six different preparations of isolated hepatocytes subfractionated with the digitonin and non-aqueous-fractionation procedures, respectively. In contrast, the mitochondrial matrix ATP/ADP determined with isolated haemoglobin-free perfused liver by using the non-aqueous-fractionation procedure was about 0.2, whereas the cytosolic values obtained with isolated cells and with the intact organ were similar. It is concluded that the relatively higher ATP/ADP ratio in the mitochondrial matrix of isolated hepatocytes represents a biochemical difference due to properties of the model rather than a methodological artifact.Entities:
