1. In rat liver mitochondria, 6-chloro-1,2,3-benzothiadiazole inhibited ADP phosphorylation and Ca2+-transport when the energy required for these processes came from the oxidation of NAD-linked substrates. The inhibition was characterized by substantial reduction in oxygen consumption, H+-movement and disappearance of acceptor control ratio. 2. When the substrate oxidized was succinate, depending on the 6-chloro-1,2,3-benzothiadiazole concn., little or no effect was observed on ADP phosphorylation and Ca2+-transport. 3. The results suggest that 6-chloro-1,2,3-benzothiadiazole can block site I at low concn., but at higher concn. can affect site I and site II, although site I is always more affected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
