Reconstruction of rat skeletal muscle glycerophosphate shuttle. 1979

P W Scisłowski, and J Swierczyński, and Z Aleksandrowicz, and M Zydowo

The activity of alpha-glycerophosphate shuttle in homogenate and in a reconstructed system (isolated mitochondria and cytoplasm) from rat skeletal muscle is presented. The influence of some inhibitors of mitochondrial alpha-glycerosphate dehydrogenase on the activity alpha-glycerophosphate shuttle is demonstrated. The possible operativity of alpha-glycerophosphate shuttle in skeletal muscle in vivo is discussed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008931	Mitochondria, Muscle	Mitochondria of skeletal and smooth muscle. It does not include myocardial mitochondria for which MITOCHONDRIA, HEART is available.	Sarcosomes,Mitochondrion, Muscle,Muscle Mitochondria,Muscle Mitochondrion,Sarcosome
D009132	Muscles	Contractile tissue that produces movement in animals.	Muscle Tissue,Muscle,Muscle Tissues,Tissue, Muscle,Tissues, Muscle
D009243	NAD	A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-diphosphate coupled to adenosine 5'-phosphate by pyrophosphate linkage. It is found widely in nature and is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions in which it serves as an electron carrier by being alternately oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH).

D010101	Oxygen Consumption	The rate at which oxygen is used by a tissue; microliters of oxygen STPD used per milligram of tissue per hour; the rate at which oxygen enters the blood from alveolar gas, equal in the steady state to the consumption of oxygen by tissue metabolism throughout the body.

D002474	Cell-Free System	A fractionated cell extract that maintains a biological function. A subcellular fraction isolated by ultracentrifugation or other separation techniques must first be isolated so that a process can be studied free from all of the complex side reactions that occur in a cell. The cell-free system is therefore widely used in cell biology.
