title: [Correction of the activity of certain enzymes in the rat liver mitochondrial electron transport chain by derivatives of alpha-tocopheryl acetate in toxic damage to the liver].
abstract: Correcting action of vitamin E and it's short chain derivative on the activity of some mitochondria electron transport chain enzymes were investigated on models of acute and chronic toxic hepatitis. Inhibition of NADH- and succinate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase complexes activity was established in short term action of xenobiotics. Treatment of rats with CCl4 during 60 days lowered activity of NADH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase complex and significantly increased activity of succinate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase complex and succinate dehydrogenase. Obviously, as a result of long term influence of hepatotoxic agents switching over in rat mitochondria electron transport from NAD-dependent way of substrate oxidation to succinate-dependent way took place. This event could be a part of the body adaptation mechanisms. Vitamin E and its short chain analogue corrected activities of investigated enzymes of mitochondria liver in the animals with acute and chronic hepatitis.
