title: Alterations of mitochondrial properties in folate nephropathy.
abstract: Folate nephropathy was selected as a model to study renal mitochondrial response after tubular injury. 20 h after injection, 14C-leucine incorporation was suppressed to 20--30% of control, 14C-mannose incorporation was 63--78% greater than control while the activities of succinic dehydrogenase and monoamine oxidase were unaltered. By 40 h, 14C-leucine incorporation had been restored to control values. Also, at 20 h, ATPase activity sensitive to oligomycin inhibition had increased by 45--73%, whereas K+-stimulated ATPase activity was reduced in the experimental mitochondrial fractions. The results are discussed along with other studies of mitochondria in experimental renal disease.
