Inhibition of functional activity of rat liver mitochondria under acute intoxication by carbon tetrachloride

Abstract

Acute carbon tetrachloride-induced rat liver damage (4 g/kg) after 24 h was accompanied by a significant reduction in succinate- and glutamate-dependent mitochondrial respiration rate in state 3 (by 65 %, and by 50 %, respectively). The acceptor control ratio and respiration control ratio approached to 1, reflecting the loss of respiration control. The mitochondrial alterations were associated with oxidation of intramitochondrial GSH, the inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase (complex II) and the rise of blood plasma nitric oxide level. Melatonin administration under CCl4-induced intoxication (three times at doses of 10 mg/kg) did not cause a pronounced recovery of mitochondrial functional activity, but prevented an increase in nitric oxide level in the blood plasma of intoxicated animals and enhanced the rate of succinate oxidation in state 3 by 30 % (p < 0.05).
