title: Investigations of the turnover of adrenocortical mitochondria. XVI. Effects of ethidium bromide on the ACTH-induced elongation of the half-life of rat zona fasciculata mitochondria.
abstract: ACTH significantly increases the half-life of rat zona fasciculata mitochondria. Since ethidium bromide inhibits this effect of ACTH, the hypothesis is advanced that the ACTH-induced slowing-down of the degradation rate of adrenocortical mitochondria involves mitochondrial DNA reduplication and transcription.
