Alkali cation effects on mitochondrial citrate uptake.
The effect of alkali cations on the rate of citrate uptake of rat-liver mitochondria and on the citrate adsorption has been studied. In each set of results, as in a series of comparative respiratory studies, Cs+ is more stimulatory than the other ions. This effect might be the consequence of different electrostatic interactions between the membrane and ions in solution in the case of different cations.
