title: [The effect of Cd2+ on the respiration and swelling of isolated rat liver mitochondria in incubation media of different compositions].
abstract: We studied a change in Cd2+ influence on state 4 and 3 respiration and on 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP)-stimulated respiration of isolated rat liver mitochondria, after replacement of KCl for equimolar quantities of NaCl, LiCl or for 200 mM sucrose in the incubation medium. Cd2+ concentrations higher than 2.5 microM reduced state 3 respiration or DNP-stimulated one in KCl medium (control), and activated state 4 respiration, however, at Cd2+ concentrations higher than 12.5 microM the respiratory activation became short-term with a following reduction in respiration. Cd2+ influence on respiration of mitochondria increased in the medium with NaCl, which resulted in decreasing the acting Cd2+ concentrations and in activating state 4 respiration more intensely. Cd2+ did not modify respiration of mitochondria in the experiments with LiCl in the medium, except that Cd2+ in concentrations higher than 10 microM decreased the state 4 respiration mitochondria just as in NaCl experiments. On the contrary, Cd2+ influence on respiration of mitochondria was seen decreased in the medium with sucrose. This was displayed in the increase in Cd2+ acting concentrations and in the decrease in activation of state 4 respiration mitochondria, and is associated with the nonosmotic character of these effects. On 20 microM Cd2+ concentration only, an extensive swelling of nonenergized mitochondria was observed in 12.5 mM nitrate media and its increase in series of Li < Na < K < NH4. The initially low swelling of succinate energized mitochondria in KCl medium was increased at raising Cd2+ concentration in this medium. A non-uniform Cd2+ influence on respiration and mitochondrial swelling in the above incubated media may be firstly associated with different effects of K+, Na+, Li+ and sucrose on membrane ion permeability and on Cd+ binding with the membrane, and, secondly, correlated with the action of medium components on energy dependent Cd2+ uptake by mitochondria and on Cd2+ penetration to mitochondrial respiratory enzymes.
