The matrix water space of mitochondria in situ in isolated hepatocytes.
The intracellular and mitochondrial matrix water-permeable spaces were measured in intact, respiring hepatocytes from normal fed, 48 h starved, and protein fed rats. The mitochondrial matrix constitutes 15-20% of the total intracellular water, a proportion greater than has generally been assumed.
