title: Microcalorimetric studies of the toxic action of La3+ in mitochondria isolated from Star-cross 288 chicken heart tissue cells.
abstract: The thermogenic curves of the metabolism of mitochondria isolated from the heart of chicken Star-cross 288 and the effect of La3+ on it were studied by using an LKB-2277 BioActivity Monitor, ampoule method, at 37 degrees C. After isolation from the chicken heart tissue, mitochondria still have metabolic activity and can live for a long time by using the stored nutrients. From the thermogenic curves, we obtained the thermokinetic equations under different conditions. The kinetics show that La3+ has changed the metabolism completely.
