2-Halogeno-ethanols as an uncoupler of phosphorylation in rat liver mitochondria. 1980

S Ebina, and Y Nagai

2-Chloroethanol, 2-bromoethanol and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol at a concentration of 0.79 vol.% stimulated state 4 respiration and released oligomycin inhibition of state 3 respiration. 2-Fluoroethanol and 1-propanol at the same concentration did not affect the respiration.

D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008297	Male		Males
D008930	Mitochondria, Liver	Mitochondria in hepatocytes. As in all mitochondria, there are an outer membrane and an inner membrane, together creating two separate mitochondrial compartments: the internal matrix space and a much narrower intermembrane space. In the liver mitochondrion, an estimated 67% of the total mitochondrial proteins is located in the matrix.
