title: [Oxidation of lactate in isolated rat heart mitochondria].
abstract: In unwashed mitochondria the oxidation of L-lactate (with NAD+) proceeds in presence of the added lactate dehydrogenase. The respiration is characterized by the high rate in state 4 and is stimulated by ADP. This process takes place in unwashed mitochondria and homogenate of the heart in absence of added lactate dehydrogenase. Oxidation of lactate with NAD+ is inhibited by rotenone. It has been also revealed that the oxidation of glutamate is insufficiently altered in presence of lactate (with NAD+) in unwashed mitochondria as compared with the washed ones. It is supposed that the stimulating effect of lactate with NAD+ on the mitochondria respiration is not so much a result of the membrane-damaged action as a result of oxidation of lactate dehydrogenase reaction products: phosphorylative oxidation of pyruvate and nonconjugated oxidation of NADH. Utilization of these products takes place in the main respiratory chain, including its first stage.
