[Ubiquinone content in albino rat kidney mitochondria following unilateral nephrectomy]. 1975

V V Fedurov

Following unilateral nephrectomy (in 72 hours) the weight of the remaining kidney increased by 23%, and the activity of succinic dehydrogenase--by 43.2%. The concentration of oubichinon in the hypertrophied kidney and its mitochondria showed no significant change for 3 days after the nephrectomy.

D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.
