Abstract
The chest plain images of 63 patients suffering from histologically proved dilated myocardial diseases: primary cardiomyopathy (27), active and residual myocarditis (23), toxic cardiomyopathy (3), endomyocardial fibrosis (2), thesaurismotic cardiomyopathy (2), obstructive intramural fine vessel diseases (6) were analysed and correlated with invasively determined parameters: end-diastolic volume index, wall mass index, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, pulmonary artery mean pressure, ejection fraction. The x-ray findings proved to occur in four different patterns which were defined as left heart involvement and three different patterns of bilateral left and right heart involvement representing various stages of left heart failure. This kind of image evaluation with functional classification is characterized by increased sensitivity, accuracy and information in detail in comparison with the heart lung index or other usual procedures.

Abstract
Mitochondria contain a NADP+ phosphatase in the matrix space. This is shown by both incubation of mitochondria and subfractions derived thereof with added NADP+ and by analysis of endogenous pyridine nucleotides after enzymatic oxidation in Ca2+-loaded mitochondria. The apparent KM for NADP+ is about 1.2 mM. NADPH is not a substrate. The enzyme may be important for modulation of posttranslational modification of macromolecules in mitochondria.

Abstract
This article reviews the biophysical consequences of lipid peroxidation in biological membranes. In the lipid domain, lipid peroxidation (a) causes an increase in the order and "viscosity" of the membrane bilayer, particularly at the depth around acyl-carbon 12, (b) changes the thermotropic phase behaviour, (c) decreases the electrical resistance, and (d) facilitates phospholipid exchange between the two monolayers. Upon lipid peroxidation membrane proteins are crosslinked, and their rotational and lateral mobility is decreased. Studies with microsomal cytochrome P-450 suggest protein aggregation but not the increased lipid order to be the major cause of protein immobilization in peroxidized membranes.

Abstract
Hydroperoxy-eicosatetraenoic acids (HPETEs) and less effectively, also hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs) stimulated Ca2+ release from rat liver mitochondria. Ca2+ release is accompanied by intramitochondrial pyridine nucleotide oxidation and hydrolysis. Both Ca2+ release and pyridine nucleotide oxidation are impeded when the flow of electrons between pyridine nucleotides and HPETE is impaired. Measurements of the mitochondrial membrane potential indicate that HPETE-stimulated Ca2+ release is not due to uncoupling of mitochondria. It is suggested that HPETEs and HETEs may act as mobilizers of mitochondrial Ca2+ during signal transduction related to proliferation and tumor promotion.

Abstract
108 patients (88 male, mean age 50 years, 20 female, mean age 49) having coronary heart disease (40), cardiomyopathy (39), hypertension (9), valvular disease (9), pulmonary diseases (5) and without cardiac diseases (6) underwent chest plain radiographs in standing and recumbent position immediately before being investigated invasively by left and right heart catheterisation, angiocardiography and coronary angiography. Two experienced radiologists evaluated the plain films with special reference to the findings of the heart and lung vessels, particularly the pulmonary veins. Dilatated veins of the upper lobes were observed more often if the radiograph was obtained from the recumbent patient. A significant close correlation with increased LVEDP was, however, revealed in both positions. A possible simulation of pathological dilatation of the venous trunci of the upper lobes merely due to the redistribution of the blood flow in the horizontal position was excluded. The results show that reliable conclusions can be drawn concerning chronic left ventricular failure if the characteristic pulmonary vein findings are visualised in patients both in the standing and in the recumbent position.

Abstract
Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Black Valentine and Glycine max cv. Maple Arrow and cv. Evans were grown at 20 °C. They were pruned to a simple source – sink system and placed in a steady-state 14C-labeling system, where their photosynthesis and translocation rates were determined at the growth temperature. The temperature of each plant was then raised or lowered and the rates were measured again. All three varieties showed net photosynthetic optima near the growth temperature. Translocation rates increased sigmoidally from 5 to 35 °C in Phaseolus, giving a decreasing Q10 value, but exponentially from 5 to 40 °C in Glycine, giving a Q10 of about 2.0. Rates were suboptimal at the highest temperatures used. Plants grown at 30 °C and exposed to higher or lower temperatures responded in parallel to the 20 °C grown plants. When grown at 12.5 °C and exposed to higher temperatures, the plants responded in parallel to the 20 °C grown ones, but at lower temperatures translocation was higher than predicted for cv. Maple Arrow.

Abstract
The results presented in this paper reveal the existence of three distinct menadione (2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone) reductases in mitochondria: NAD(P)H:(quinone-acceptor) oxidoreductase (D,T-diaphorase), NADPH:(quinone-acceptor) oxidoreductase, and NADH:(quinone-acceptor) oxidoreductase. All three enzymes reduce menadione in a two-electron step directly to the hydroquinone form. NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (NADH dehydrogenase) and NAD(P)H azoreductase do not participate significantly in menadione reduction. In mitochondrial extracts, the menadione-induced NAD(P)H oxidation occurs beyond stoichiometric reduction of the quinone and is accompanied by O2 consumption. Benzoquinone is reduced more rapidly than menadione but does not undergo redox cycling. In intact mitochondria, menadione triggers oxidation of intramitochondrial pyridine nucleotides, cyanide-insensitive O2 consumption, and a transient decrease of delta psi. In the presence of intramitochondrial Ca2+, the menadione-induced oxidation of pyridine nucleotides is accompanied by their hydrolysis, and Ca2+ is released from mitochondria. The menadione-induced Ca2+ release leaves mitochondria intact, provided excessive Ca2+ cycling is prevented. In both selenium-deficient and selenium-adequate mitochondria, menadione is equally effective in inducing oxidation of pyridine nucleotides and Ca2+ release. Thus, menadione-induced Ca2+ release is mediated predominantly by enzymatic two-electron reduction of menadione, and not by H2O2 generated by menadione-dependent redox cycling. Our findings argue against D,T-diaphorase being a control device that prevents quinone-dependent oxygen toxicity in mitochondria.

Abstract
The nigrostriatal neurotoxin N-methyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) causes Parkinsonism in humans and laboratory animals. MPTP neurotoxicity is dependent on its oxidation to N-methyl-4-phenylpyridine (MPP+). The mechanism by which MPP+ causes destruction of dopamine-containing nigrostriatal cells is unknown. Here we show that MPP+ but not MPTP is taken up by energized mitochondria. MPP+ in the presence of dopamine and particularly of 6-hydroxydopamine stimulates Ca2+ release from mitochondria. Ca2+ release is accompanied by hydrolysis of intramitochondrial pyridine nucleotides. Our findings suggest that the MPTP-induced model of Parkinson's disease may be due to a disturbed Ca2+ homeostasis in dopamine neurons.

Abstract
The kinetics of carbon monoxide binding to phenobarbital-induced cytochrome P-450 (P-450PB) and to its enzymatically inactive form P-420PB have been investigated by both stopped-flow and flash-photolysis spectrophotometry. When the simultaneous presence of both forms of the enzyme is taken into account, the binding of CO to these two proteins can be described in terms of two bimolecular processes with rate constants of 4.5 X 10(6) M-1.S-1 and 4.7 X 10(5) M-1.S-1 for P-450PB and 1.7 X 10(7) M-1.S-1 and 1.5 X 10(6) M-1.S-1 for P-420PB. From kinetic studies of the binding of CO to P-450PB under different experimental conditions, investigations of the homogeneity of our P-450PB preparations, and comparative kinetic investigations of P-450s from different sources, we conclude that CO binding to reduced P-450PB is a simple bimolecular process and that the observed biphasic traces are due to heterogeneity of the proteins. This conclusion is in contrast with previous reports of complex reaction mechanisms for the binding of CO to P-450PB. Optical spectroscopy studies indicate the existence of an equilibrium between P-450PB and P-420PB, at least for the reduced carbonyl derivatives of the enzymes. The interconversion is strongly influenced by the aggregation state of the protein. Large differences between the CO binding properties of P-450PB and those of P-420PB are found. These are discussed in terms of possible effects of the proximal ligation state of the iron on heme reactivity.

Abstract
Phenobarbital-induced rat liver microsomes were subjected to NADPH- and Fe2+-catalyzed lipid peroxidation. The formation of approx. 95 nmol malondialdehyde/mg protein during 18 min peroxidation at 37 degrees C was observed. Membrane rigidity measured by means of the steady-state fluorescence anisotropy rs of diphenylhexatriene increased in parallel with the malondialdehyde formation. Both the amount of malondialdehyde and rs remained constant thereafter during incubation of the peroxidized membranes for 2 h. The aminopyrine demethylase activity decreased by about 60% upon lipid peroxidation for 18 min, whereas no significant loss of benzphetamine demethylase activity within the same time range was observed. A time-dependent formation of protein complexes of high molecular weight, comprising most of the microsomal polypeptides, upon lipid peroxidation was observed in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The effect of microsomal lipid peroxidation on protein-protein interactions was examined by measuring the rotational mobility of intact cytochrome P-450. Rotational diffusion was measured by observing the decay of flash-induced absorption anisotropy r(t) of the P-450 X CO complex. Analysis was based on a 'rotation-about-membrane normal' model with the equation r(t) = r1exp(-t/phi 1) + r2exp(-t/phi 2). In control microsomes, two classes (rapid and slow) of rotating populations of cytochrome P-450 were observed with phi 1 approximately equal to 150 microseconds, fraction r1/(r1 + r2) approximately equal to 40% and phi 2 approximately equal to 2 ms, fraction r2/(r1 + r2) approximately equal to 60%. A relatively small decrease in the rotational mobility of P-450 was observed by a 18-min lipid peroxidation, while a subsequent incubation of peroxidized microsomes for 2 h at 37 degrees C resulted in a dramatic immobilization of P-450 by the increase of both r2/(r1 + r2) approximately equal to 75% and phi 2 approximately equal to 10-25 ms. The decrease in the P-450 mobility during 18-min lipid peroxidation would be due to the rigidification of the lipid bilayer. However, because the lipid fluidity remained unchanged thereafter, the significant immobilization of P-450 by the subsequent 2-h incubation is deduced to be due to formation of protein aggregates.

Abstract
The objective of the present work was to investigate the mechanism of alloxan-induced Ca2+ release from rat liver mitochondria. Transport of Ca2+, oxidation and hydrolysis of mitochondrial pyridine nucleotides, changes in the mitochondrial membrane potential, and oxygen consumption by mitochondria were investigated. Alloxan does not inhibit the uptake of Ca2+ but stimulates the release of Ca2+ from liver mitochondria, which is accompanied by oxidation and hydrolysis of pyridine nucleotides. Oxidation of mitochondrial pyridine nucleotides by alloxan is not mediated by glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase and may occur largely nonenzymatically. Measurements of the mitochondrial membrane potential in combination with inhibitors of Ca2+ reuptake indicate that Ca2+ release takes place from intact liver mitochondria via a distinct pathway. Limited redox cycling of alloxan by mitochondria is indicated by measurements of the membrane potential and O2 consumption in the presence of cyanide. It is concluded that alloxan can cause Ca2+ release from intact rat liver mitochondria. Redox cycling of alloxan is not significantly involved in the Ca2+ release mechanism. Oxidation and hydrolysis of pyridine nucleotides, possibly in conjunction with oxidation of critical sulfhydryl groups, seem to be key events in the alloxan-induced Ca2+ release. Disturbance of cellular Ca2+ homeostasis may partly explain alloxan toxicity.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated in rat liver mitochondria a hydroperoxide-induced hydrolysis of pyridine nucleotides and release of Ca2+ [Lötscher, H. R., Winterhalter, K. H., Carafoli, E. & Richter, C. (1979) Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 76, 4340-4344, and Lötscher, H. R., Winterhalter, K. H., Carafoli, E. & Richter, C. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 9325-9330]. Here we investigate pyridine nucleotide hydrolysis and Ca2+ release under conditions of minimized Ca2+ cycling and with smaller Ca2+ loads. The extent of pyridine nucleotide hydrolysis, measured by pyridine-nucleotide-derived nicotinamide release from intact mitochondria, and the Ca2+ release rate show a very similar sigmoidal dependence on the mitochondrial Ca2+ load. The hydrolysis of oxidized pyridine nucleotides is limited under non-cycling conditions. Whereas pyridine nucleotide hydrolysis as measured by nicotinamide release is extensive, net loss of mitochondrial pyridine nucleotides is observed only at relatively high Ca2+ loads. Our results indicate the ability of mitochondria to resynthesize pyridine nucleotides after hydrolysis. Neither a decrease of reduced, nor an increase of oxidized, mitochondrial glutathione favour Ca2+ release. From these and previous findings it is concluded that the hydroperoxide-induced Ca2+ release is triggered by a factor which is distal to the oxidation of mitochondrial pyridine nucleotides. Ca2+ release is stimulated when the movement of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane is facilitated, giving evidence for the operation of the hydroperoxide-induced release pathway as a Ca2+/H+ antiport.

Abstract
Cytochrome P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase were reconstituted in unilamellar lipid vesicles prepared by the cholate dialysis technique from pure dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC), pure dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), pure dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC), and phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylethanolamine/phosphatidylserine (PC/PE/PS) (10:5:1). As probes for the vesicles' hydrocarbon region, 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) and spin-labeled PC were used. The steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence parameters of DPH were determined as a function of temperature and composition of liposomes. Incorporation of either protein alone or together increased the steady-state fluorescence anisotropy (rs) of DPH in DOPC and PC/PE/PS (10:5:1) liposomes. In DMPC and DPPC vesicles, the proteins decreased rs significantly below the transition temperature (Tc) of the gel to liquid-crystalline phase transition. Time-resolved fluorescence measurements of DPH performed in reconstituted PC/PE/PS and DMPC proteoliposomes showed that the proteins disorder the bilayer both in the gel and in the liquid-crystalline phase. Little disordering by the proteins was observed by a spin-label located near the mid-zone of the bilayer 1-palmitoyl-2-(5-doxylstearoyl)-3-sn-phosphatidylcholine (8-doxyl-PC), whereas pronounced disordering was detected by 1-palmitoyl-2-(8-doxylpalmitoyl)-3-sn-phosphatidylcholine (5-doxyl-PC), which probes the lipid zone closer to the polar part of the membrane. Fluorescence lifetime measurements of DPH indicate an average distance of greater than or equal to 60 A between the heme of cytochrome P-450 and DPH.

Abstract
Divicine, a pyrimidine aglycone strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of favism, induces calcium release from intact rat liver mitochondria. Divicine-dependent calcium release is accompanied by oxidation and hydrolysis of intramitochondrial pyridine nucleotides. Inhibition of both mitochondrial glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase slows down divicine-induced calcium release. Cyanide-insensitive respiration indicates redox cycling of divicine in mitochondria. The results suggest that attention should be paid to the action of divicine in cells other than red blood cells.

Abstract
Hydroperoxides have previously been shown to induce Ca2+ release from intact rat liver mitochondria via a specific release pathway. Here it is reported that, in rat brain mitochondria, a hydroperoxide-induced Ca2+ release is also operative but is of minor importance. Hydroperoxide stimulates Ca2+ release in the presence of ruthenium red about twofold at a Ca2+ load of 40 nmol/mg mitochondrial protein. After addition of hydroperoxide, Ca2+ release from brain mitochondria can still be evoked by Na+. In the presence of succinate and rotenone, hydroperoxide induces only a very limited oxidation of pyridine nucleotides, most probably due to the low level of glutathione peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.9) and glutathione reductase (EC 1.6.4.2) found in brain mitochondria. Similar to liver mitochondria, a NADase (EC 3.2.2.5) activity is found in brain mitochondria. Its localization and sensitivity toward ADP and ATP, however, is different from that of the liver mitochondrial enzyme.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 purified from phenobarbital-induced rat liver microsomes was acetylated at 3 lysyl residues. When reconstituted with purified NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase, the modified cytochrome showed full activity and substrate-induced spectral changes with d-benzphetamine. With 7-ethoxycoumarin, neither enzymic activity nor binding was detected. It is concluded that the positively charged lysine residues of cytochrome P450 are important for metabolism of 7-ethoxycoumarin by cytochrome P450.

Abstract
Purified rat liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase were co-reconstituted in phosphatidylcholine-phosphatidylethanolamine-phosphatidylserine vesicles by a cholate dialysis technique. Rotational diffusion of cytochrome P-450 was measured by detecting the decay of absorption anisotropy r(t), after photolysis of the heme X CO complex by a vertically polarized laser flash. All cytochrome P-450 was found to be rotationally mobile when co-reconstituted with equimolar amounts of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase in lipid to cytochrome P-450 ((L/P450)) = 1 (w/w] vesicles. Antibodies against NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase were raised. Their specificity was demonstrated by Ouchterlony double diffusion analysis. Antireductase Fab fragments were prepared from antireductase IgG by papain digestion. The N-demethylation of benzphetamine, catalyzed by the proteoliposomes, was significantly inhibited by antireductase IgG and by antireductase Fab fragments. Cross-linking of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase by antireductase IgG resulted in complete immobilization of cytochrome P-450 in L/P450 = 1 vesicles. Antireductase IgG also immobilized cytochrome P-450 in L/P450 = 5 vesicles, although the degree of immobilization was slightly smaller. No immobilization of cytochrome P-450 in L/P450 = 1 vesicles was detected in the presence of antireductase Fab fragments or preimmune IgG. These results further support the proposal of the formation of monomolecular complexes between cytochrome P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase in liposomal membranes (Gut, J., Richter, C., Cherry, R.J., Winterhalter, K.H., and Kawato, S.

Abstract
A 60- to 70-fold purification of an NAD+ glycohydrolase from the inner membrane of rat liver mitochondria to apparent homogeneity on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide slab gel is described. The minimum molecular weight of the enzyme on polyacrylamide gels in the presence of SDS is around 62,000. The enzyme splits NAD+ to ADP-ribose and, presumably, nicotinamide. No phosphatase or phosphodiesterase activity is detected in the purified enzyme preparation. The enzyme shows high activity with NAD+ and moderate activity with NADP+ as substrates NAD(P)Hs are poor substrates. ATP and nicotinamide inhibit the enzyme. A possible participation of the enzyme in the mechanism of calcium release from rat liver mitochondria is discussed.

Abstract
NAD+ glycohydrolase activity is found at high levels in submitochondrial particles. It leads to the reaction products ADP-ribose, nicotinamide, and small amounts of 5'-AMP. Furthermore, submitochondrial particles catalyze the exchange reaction: [adenosine-14C]ADP-ribose + NAD+ in equilibrium [adenosine-14C]-NAD+ + ADP-ribose. When submitochondrial particles are incubated with NAD+, mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of protein molecules migrating with an apparent molecular weight of 30,000 in sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is demonstrable. Inhibitor studies suggest attachment of ADP-ribose to arginine residues. ADP-ribose bound to submitochondrial particles is rapidly turning over. The release of ADP-ribose from the protein is probably enzyme catalyzed. The rapid turnover, the specificity of the modification, and the inhibition of ADP-ribosylation by ATP and nicotinamide suggest a regulatory role of mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of a protein in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Abstract
The hydroperoxide-induced net release of Ca2+ from rat liver mitochondria is stimulated by the Ca2+ uptake inhibitor ruthenium red. At moderate Ca2+ loads the release takes place with preservation of a high mitochondrial membrane potential. During and after Ca2+ release mitochondria remain intact. The hydroperoxide-induced release of Ca2+ might therefore be of physiological relevance.
