Rapid reduction of nitric oxide by mitochondria, and reversible inhibition of mitochondrial respiration by nitric oxide

Open access
BORUTAITÉ, Vilmanté, BROWN, Guy C.·1996·Biochemical Journal

Abstract

Nitric oxide (NO) inhibited the respiration rate of mitochondria isolated from rat heart at sub-micromolar concentrations of NO. The inhibition was rapidly and completely reversible, indicating that NO does not damage mitochondria. The sensitivity of respiration to NO depended on the oxygen concentration, substrate type and respiratory state of the mitochondria, consistent with NO competing with oxygen at cytochrome oxidase. Mitochondria catalysed a rapid rate of NO breakdown, which was greater in the absence of oxygen and was partly inhibited by cyanide and azide, suggesting that at least part of the NO breakdown was due to reduction of NO by cytochrome oxidase. The rapid rate of this breakdown suggests that mitochondrial breakdown of NO may be significant physiologically.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
