Abstract
The effects of almitrine on ATPase/ATPsynthase previously described in beef heart mitochondria (Rigoulet et al. (1990) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1018, 91-97) are also observed in liver mitochondria isolated from rats older than 7 weeks. In contrast, in rats younger than 5 weeks, almitrine at the same concentration has no effect on the ATPase/ATPsynthase complex. This age-dependent action of almitrine is well correlated with age-dependent modifications of two fatty acids: linoleic and docosahexaenoic acids. The possibility of a change in H+/ATP stoichiometry of the ATPase/ATPsynthase induced by almitrine seems related to more general modifications of membrane properties during growth of the rat.Entities:
