title: Studies on rat liver mitochondria. 6. The effect of contaminating particles in mitochondria stored at 0-4 degrees C.
abstract: Rat liver mitochondria were stored at 0-4 degrees C for several days using an appropriate medium and energy source. The elimination of the majority of microsomes and lysosomes, that normally contaminate isolated mitochondria, had a positive effect in preservation of respiratory control, P:O ratio, and monoamine oxidase activity during long term storage.
