摘要
The effect of chronic carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) administration on liver mitochondria function and the protective action of adenosine on CCl4-induced damage were assessed in rats made cirrhotic by long-term exposure to the hepatotoxin (8 weeks). The CCl4 treatment decreased the ADP-stimulated oxygen consumption, respiratory control, and ADP/O values, mainly for substrates oxidation of site I, in isolated mitochondria. This impaired mitochondrial capacity for substrate oxidation and ATP synthesis was accompanied by an important diminution (≈30 mV) of membrane electrical potential. Disturbances of the mitochondrial membrane, induced by CCl4 treatment, were also evidenced as increased mitochondria swelling and altered oscillatory states of mitochondrial volume, both energy-linked processes. The deleterious effects of CCl4 on mitochondrial function were also reflected as a deficient activity of the malate-aspartate shuttle that correlated with abnormal distribution of cholesterol and phospholipids in membranes obtained from submitochondrial particles. Adenosine treatment of CCl4-poisoned rats partially prevented the alterations in mitochondria membrane composition and prevented, almost completely, the impairment of mitochondria function induced by CCl4. Although the nature of the protective action of adenosine on CCl4-induced mitochondria injury remains to be elucidated, such action at this level might play an important role in the partial prevention of liver damage induced by the CCl4. © 1992.
