title: [Enzyme, electron microscopic and polarographic characteristics of isolated rat brain mitochondria. III. Quantitative assessment of their distribution in fractions of the homogenate].
abstract: Activities of succinate dehydrogenase, succinate- and NAD-H-cytochrome c--reductases, and cytochrome c--oxidase was compared in 1 g tissue homogenate and homogenate fractions made from 1 g brain tissue using various solutions. Fractionation resulted in the increased activities of NADH- and succinate cytochrome reductases, and in the loss of succinate dehydrogenase activity, cytochrome oxidase was less influenced. These phenomena are regarded as signs of the interrelation between mitochondria and other constituents of brain cell within homogenates. Maximal quantity of mitochondria isolated from homogenates is no more than 20% of all the mitochondrial homogenates (according enzyme data). The electronogram of the brain mitochondrial preparation isolated in the Krebs--Ringer solution without glucose pointed out to a high homogeneity of mitochondria in the residue.
