The semiautomated kinetic procedure for determining cytoplasmic aspartate aminotransferase (c-AST) and mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase (m-AST) activities was studied by the use of the immunoprecipitation method with anti-c-AST antibody in serum samples. The measured activity for m-AST remained constant after the addition of c-AST up to 1,000 IU/l throughout the 60-min incubation period. The measurements of m-AST activity were reproducible, selective and complete as determined by a purified m-AST. The precision of this method was as good as that of the manual method (CV 2.04%). The present method and the manual method gave approximately equal results for m-AST (r = 0.987). The effects of activations on m- and c-AST activity were compared by the addition of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate to sera of various diseases. A higher activation ratio by pyridoxal 5'-phosphate was observed on both aspartate aminotransferase activities in the serum of patients with ischemic heart diseases than in the serum of patients with liver diseases.

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.
