Abstract
PARP inhibitors (PARPis) have been used to induce synthetic lethality in BRCA-deficient tumors in clinical trials with limited success. We hypothesized that RAD52-mediated DNA repair remains active in PARPi-treated BRCA-deficient tumor cells and that targeting RAD52 should enhance the synthetic lethal effect of PARPi. We show that RAD52 inhibitors (RAD52is) attenuated single-strand annealing (SSA) and residual homologous recombination (HR) in BRCA-deficient cells. Simultaneous targeting of PARP1 and RAD52 with inhibitors or dominant-negative mutants caused synergistic accumulation of DSBs and eradication of BRCA-deficient but not BRCA-proficient tumor cells. Remarkably, Parp1-/-;Rad52-/- mice are normal and display prolonged latency of BRCA1-deficient leukemia compared with Parp1-/- and Rad52-/- counterparts. Finally, PARPi+RAD52i exerted synergistic activity against BRCA1-deficient tumors in immunodeficient mice with minimal toxicity to normal cells and tissues. In conclusion, our data indicate that addition of RAD52i will improve therapeutic outcome of BRCA-deficient malignancies treated with PARPi.

Abstract
AIM The study on the effectiveness of complex therapy for osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee joint was conducted in real clinical practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS The survey involved 125 patients aged fr om 50 to 70 years (25 men and 100 women) with a diagnosis of knee joint OA (the III roentgenologic Kellgren-Lawrence stage).The average age of the patients was 62±3.21, the average duration of the disease - 9.4±2.8 years. Patients were randomly assigned to three groups of 35 people, the control group had 20 patients. Group 1 patients received non - steroidal anti - inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) + Injectran(Chondroitin sulfate) 200 mg intramuscularly (I.M.) every other day No. 25.In group 2, patients received NSAIDs + Fermatron 1% 2 ml with an interval of 7 days intra - articularly (I.A.) No. 3. In group 3 - NSAIDs + Injectran 200 mg (I.M.) every other day No. 25 + Fermatron 1% 2 ml with an interval of 7 days (I.A.) No. 3. In the control group (20 people), patients received only NSAIDs. Evaluation of the symptoms was carried out using the WOMAC index before the start of thetherapy, after 8 and 12 weeks of treatment. The intensity of pain while walking was estimated on a visual analogue scale. RESULTS In the groups that received Injectran (I; group 1) or Fermatron (F; group 2), the dynamics of pain while walking reduction was comparable and had slightly more than 30% in both groups, the figures are reliable in comparison withinitial data (p.

Abstract
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) often carry JAK2(V617F), MPL(W515L), or CALR(del52) mutations. Current treatment options for MPNs include cytoreduction by hydroxyurea and JAK1/2 inhibition by ruxolitinib, both of which are not curative. We show here that cell lines expressing JAK2(V617F), MPL(W515L), or CALR(del52) accumulated reactive oxygen species-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and were modestly sensitive to poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors olaparib and BMN673. At the same time, primary MPN cell samples from individual patients displayed a high degree of variability in sensitivity to these drugs. Ruxolitinib inhibited 2 major DSB repair mechanisms, BRCA-mediated homologous recombination and DNA-dependent protein kinase-mediated nonhomologous end-joining, and, when combined with olaparib, caused abundant accumulation of toxic DSBs resulting in enhanced elimination of MPN primary cells, including the disease-initiating cells from the majority of patients. Moreover, the combination of BMN673, ruxolitinib, and hydroxyurea was highly effective in vivo against JAK2(V617F)+ murine MPN-like disease and also against JAK2(V617F)+, CALR(del52)+, and MPL(W515L)+ primary MPN xenografts. In conclusion, we postulate that ruxolitinib-induced deficiencies in DSB repair pathways sensitized MPN cells to synthetic lethality triggered by PARP inhibitors.

Abstract
Post-resection wound healing, oral microbiota composition and saliva lysozyme activity were assessed in 36 patients with tongue carcinoma before and after surgery with the local application of 2% solution of acid-diluted chitosan in the postoperative period. The microbiocenosis of the oral cavity before treatment in cancer patients was represented by conditionally pathogenic and pathogenic bacteria, whose number is more than 4 lg CFU/cm2, indicating dysbiosis; the lysozyme level was reduced, accounting for 25.4±8.5 µg/ml. After the radical hemi-glossectomy the reduction in the frequency and quantity of conditionally pathogenic and pathogenic microorganisms was statistically determined, as well as an increase in the level of lysozyme of saliva on the 10 day of treatment. Patients receiving local treatment with chitosan showed an increasing number of normal microbiota in 1,5-2 times, and the level of lysozyme in 8 times (amounted to 202.87±56.85 µg/ml).

The article presents analysis of results of examination of spectrum, rate of occurrence and number of microorganisms of large intestine in individuals with normal level of glucose in blood and with predisposition to diabetes mellitus type II. The psychodiagnostic study was carried out including estimate of particular psycho-physiologic and social psychological characteristics of personality reflecting characteristics of psychic and social development. It is established that in individuals with predisposition to diabetes mellitus type II microbiota of intestine altered sideway to dysbiosis degree I-II at the expense of increasing of number of opportunistic microflora up to several degrees. In control group normobiocenosis and intestine dysbiosis degree I are established. It is demonstrated that satisfaction with life-quality is approximately the same in both groups of study participants. However, adaptation possibilities are significantly higher in individuals with predisposition to diabetes mellitus type II.

Abstract
Importance Cutaneous verruca vulgaris lesions (warts) and oral squamous cell papillomas are common lesions caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Multiple reports have described cases of wart resolution following quadrivalent HPV vaccination. We report the case of a patient with chronic oral papillomas with resolution after quadrivalent HPV vaccination and perform a review of the literature. Observations An immunocompetent man in his 60s presented with chronic verrucous papules on the lips, tongue, and buccal mucosa refractory to multiple excisions. Biopsy showed squamous cell papilloma, and DNA sequencing revealed HPV-32. He received the quadrivalent HPV vaccine resulting in clearance of all lesions after 3 months. We found 8 reported cases of disseminated, recurrent warts with resolution after quadrivalent HPV vaccination. Improvement was seen within 4 weeks of vaccination, and resolution after 3 to 8 months. Conclusions and Relevance We report the case of recurrent oral papillomas caused by HPV-32 with complete resolution after quadrivalent HPV vaccination and reviewed reports of resolution of recalcitrant and disseminated warts after vaccination. Production of cross-protective immunoglobulins and cytotoxic T cells is a possible mechanism. There remains a critical need for randomized clinical trials to assess efficacy of quadrivalent HPV vaccination for treatment of oral squamous papillomas and cutaneous verruca vulgaris.

Abstract
Using the quantum chemical semi-empirical PM3 method it is shown that aliphatic alcohols favor the spontaneous clusterization of vaporous alkanes at the water surface due to the change of adsorption from the barrier to non-barrier mechanism. A theoretical model of the non-barrier mechanism for monolayer formation is developed. In the framework of this model alcohols (or any other surfactants) act as 'floats', which interact with alkane molecules of the vapor phase using their hydrophobic part, whereas the hydrophilic part is immersed into the water phase. This results in a significant increase of contact effectiveness of alkanes with the interface during the adsorption and film formation. The obtained results are in good agreement with the existing experimental data. To test the model the thermodynamic and structural parameters of formation and clusterization are calculated for vaporous alkanes C(n)H(2n+2) (n(CH3) = 6-16) at the water surface in the presence of aliphatic alcohols C(n)H(2n+1)OH (n(OH) = 8-16) at 298 K. It is shown that the values of clusterization enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs' energy per one monomer of the cluster depend on the chain lengths of corresponding alcohols and alkanes, the alcohol molar fraction in the monolayers formed, and the shift of the alkane molecules with respect to the alcohol molecules Δn. Two possible competitive structures of mixed 2D film alkane-alcohol are considered: 2D films 1 with single alcohol molecules enclosed by alkane molecules (the alcohols do not form domains) and 2D films 2 that contain alcohol domains enclosed by alkane molecules. The formation of the alkane films of the first type is nearly independent of the surfactant type present at the interface, but depends on their molar fraction in the monolayer formed and the chain length of the compounds participating in the clusterization, whereas for the formation of the films of the second type the interaction between the hydrophilic parts of the surfactant is essential and different for various types of amphiphilic compounds. The energetic preference of the film formation of both types depends significantly on the chain length of compounds. The surfactant concentration (in the range of X = 0-10%) exerts a slight influence on the process of film formation.

Abstract
The structural parameters of fatty acid (with formula CnH2n+1COOH, n = 7-16) monolayers at the air/water interface were modeled within quantum-chemical semiempirical program complex Mopac 2012 (PM3 method). On the basis of quantum-chemical calculations it was shown that molecules in the highly ordered monolayer can be oriented at the angle ∼16° (tilted monolayer), or at the angle ∼0° to the normal to the air/water interface (untilted monolayer). The structural parameters of both tilted and untilted monolayers correspond well to the experimental data. The parameters of the unit cell of the modelled tilted monolayer are: a = 8.0-8.2 Å and b = 4.2-4.5 Å (with the corresponding experimental data 8.4-8.7 Å and 4.9-5.0 Å). For the modelled untilted monolayer these parameters are: a = 7.7-8.0 Å; b = 4.6 Å (with the corresponding experimental data 8.4 Å and 4.8-4.9 Å). Enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs' energy of clusterization were calculated for both structures. The correlation dependencies of the calculated parameters on the number of pair intermolecular CHHC interactions in the clusters and the pair interactions between functional groups were obtained. It was shown that the spontaneous clusterization of the fatty carboxylic acids at the air/water interface under standard conditions is energetically preferable for molecules which have 13 or more carbon atoms in the alkyl chain and this result also agrees with the corresponding experimental parameters.

Abstract
The superposition-additive approach developed previously was shown to be applicable for the calculations of the thermodynamic parameters of formation and atomization of conjugate systems, their dipole polarizability, molecular diamagnetic susceptibility, π-electronic ring currents, etc. In the present work, the applicability of this approach for the calculation of the thermodynamic parameters of formation and clusterization at the water/air interface of alkanes, fatty alcohols, thioalcohols, amines, nitriles, fatty acids (C(n)H(2n+1)X, X is the functional group) and cis-unsaturated carboxylic acids (C(n)H(2n-1)COOH) is studied. Using the proposed approach the thermodynamic quantities determined agree well with the available data, either calculated using the semiempirical (PM3) quantum chemical method, or obtained in experiments. In particular, for enthalpy and Gibbs' energy of the formation of substituted alkane monomers from the elementary substances, and their absolute entropy, the standard deviations of the values calculated according to the superposition-additive scheme with the mutual superimposition domain C(n-2)H(2n-4) (n is the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain) from the results of PM3 calculations for alkanes, alcohols, thioalcohols, amines, fatty acids, nitriles and cis-unsaturated carboxylic acids are respectively: 0.05, 0.004, 2.87, 0.02, 0.01, 0.77, and 0.01 kJ/mol for enthalpy; 2.32, 5.26, 4.49, 0.53, 1.22, 1.02, 5.30 J/(molK) for absolute entropy; 0.69, 1.56, 3.82, 0.15, 0.37, 0.69, 1.58 kJ/mol for Gibbs' energy, whereas the deviations from the experimental data are: 0.52, 5.75, 1.40, 1.00, 4.86 kJ/mol; 0.52, 0.63, 1.40, 6.11, 2.21 J/(molK); 2.52, 5.76, 1.58, 1.78, 4.86 kJ/mol, respectively (for nitriles and cis-unsaturated carboxylic acids experimental data are not available). The proposed approach provides also quite accurate estimates of enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs' energy of boiling and melting, critical temperatures and standard heat capacities for several classes of substituted alkanes. For the calculation of thermodynamic functions of clusterization of dimers, trimers and tetramers of fatty alcohols, thioalcohols, amines, carboxylic acids and cis-unsaturated carboxylic acids two superposition-additive schemes are proposed which ensure the correct superimposition of the molecular graphs, including intermolecular hydrogen-hydrogen interactions in the clusters. The calculations involve the thermodynamic parameters of clusterization obtained earlier by the PM3 method. It is shown that the proposed approach reproduces quite accurately the values calculated earlier and is applicable for the prediction of the thermodynamic parameters of the formation of surfactant monolayers.

Abstract
An approach to calculation of the threshold temperature for spontaneous clusterization of substituted alkanes (amines, nitriles, alcohols, thioalcohols, saturated and unsaturated carboxylic acids, α-amino acids, carboxylic acid amides, and melamine derivatives) at the air/water interface with dependence on the alkyl chain length was developed. In the framework of this approach, four schemes for the description of the temperature dependencies of the thermodynamic parameters of clusterization of the concerned amphiphilic compounds were proposed. They use the data obtained previously in the framework of quantum chemical semiempirical PM3 method and differ from each other by the degree of their theoretical accuracy. It was shown that the threshold temperature for spontaneous clusterization of the regarded classes of substituted alkanes can be described using a fractionally linear function in dependence on the alkyl chain length. It was found that, in agreement with the presented experimental data, the effect of the alkyl chain elongation of the substituted alkanes by two methylene units correlates with the decrease of the subphase temperature (ΔT) by 10-20 K. The general shape of the obtained dependencies indicates that the difference in the ΔT values for the amphiphilic molecules decreases with increasing alkyl chain length. This implies that the contribution of the intermolecular CH···HC interactions between the alkyl chains of monolayer molecules should be a decisive factor.

Abstract
The applicability of the superposition-additive approach for the calculation of the thermodynamic parameters of formation and atomization of conjugate systems, their dipole electric polarisabilities, molecular diamagnetic susceptibilities, π-electron circular currents, as well as for the estimation of the thermodynamic parameters of substituted alkanes, was demonstrated earlier. Now the applicability of the superposition-additive approach for the description of clusterization of fatty alcohols, thioalcohols, amines, carboxylic acids at the air/water interface is studied. Two superposition-additive schemes are used that ensure the maximum superimposition of the graphs of the considered molecular structures including the intermolecular CH-HC interactions within the clusters. The thermodynamic parameters of clusterization are calculated for dimers, trimers and tetramers. The calculations are based on the values of enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs' energy of clusterization calculated earlier using the semiempirical quantum chemical PM3 method. It is shown that the proposed approach is capable of the reproduction with sufficiently enough accuracy of the values calculated previously.

Abstract
The quantum-chemical semiempiric PM3 method is used to calculate the thermodynamic parameters of clusterization for the racemic α-amino acids C(n)H(2n+1)CHNH(2)COOH with n=5-15 at 278 and 298 K. Possible relative orientations of the monomers in the heterochiral clusters are considered. It is shown that, for the racemic mixtures of α-amino acids, the formation of heterochiral 2D films is most energetically preferable with the alternating (rather than "checkered") packing of the enantiomers with opposite specific rotation. The two enantiomeric forms of α-amino acids in the heterochiral 2D clusters are tilted with respect to the normal to the q direction at angles of φ(1)=20° and φ(2) = 33°, whereas the single enantiomeric forms are oriented at an angle of δ=9° with respect to the normal to the p direction. It is shown that the heterochiral 2D film based on the α-amino acid structures oriented at the angle φ(2)=33° with respect to the normal to the q direction possesses a rectangular unit cell with the geometric parameters a = 4.62 Å and b = 10.70 Å and the tilt angle of the alkyl chain of the molecule with respect to the interface t(2)=35°, which is in good agreement with the X-ray structural data a=4.80 Å, b=9.67 Å, and t(2)=37°. The parameters of the lattice structure of monolayers formed by amphiphilic amino acids are shown to be determined by the "a" type of the intermolecular H-H interactions, whereas the tilt angle of the molecules with respect to the interface depends on the volume and the structure of the functional groups involved in the hydrophilic part of the molecule. Spontaneous clusterization of the racemic form of α-amino acids at the air/water interface at 278 K takes place if the alkyl chain length is equal or higher than 12-13 carbon atoms, whereas for 298 K this clusterization threshold corresponds to 14 carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain. These values agree with the experimental data.

Abstract
The semiempiric PM3 method is used to calculate the thermodynamic parameters of the formation of monomers, dimers, trimers, and tetramers of the amphiphilic melamine-type series of 2,4-di(n-alkylamino)-6-amino-1,3,5-triazine (2C(n)H(2n+1)-melamine) with n = 9-16. The most stable conformations are determined, which then are used to construct the clusters. The peculiar feature of these structures is the existence of a bend at one of the alkyl chains. Thus, the formation of infinite films becomes possible because of their spatial arrangement. From the calculation of the relative amount of various conformers in the mixture, it follows that, if the alkyl chain length is lower than 11-12 carbon atoms, the mixture is composed mainly of the monomers that do not contain any intramolecular interactions, whereas for higher alkyl chain lengths the monomers that involve such interactions prevail in the mixture. For all clusters thus considered, the thermodynamic parameters (enthalpies, entropies, and Gibbs' energies) of clusterization are calculated. It is shown that the dependencies of these parameters on the alkyl chain length either exhibit stepwise shape or are represented by the combination of a linear and stepwise function. This depends on the different number of hydrogen-hydrogen interactions in the structures considered. Five types of clusters that are capable of the formation of infinite 2D films are considered in detail. For each of these types, the dependencies of the clusterization enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs' energy on the alkyl chain length in the constituting monomers are derived. Using these dependencies, it becomes possible to calculate these thermodynamic characteristics for clusters of any size, and also for infinite 2D films. It is shown that the spontaneous clusterization of 2C(n)H(2n+1)-melamine becomes possible if the alkyl chain length exceeds 9 carbon atoms.

Abstract
Kinetic behavior of alpha-chymotrypsinin the reaction of hydrolysis of the N-acetyl-L-tyrosine derivatives was investigated in non-denaturing water-dimethylsulfoxide and water-ethanol mixtures. Similar specific interactions between the two solvents and the active site of alpha-chymotrypsin were shown to result in similar kinetic effects. It is proposed that the changes in the active site structure of the enzyme caused by the interaction with the organic solvents ("conformational isomer" formation) resulted in two parallel processes--acceleration of the acyl-enzyme formation step and a decrease in the deacylation rate. The possible molecular mechanism of this phenomenon and an adequate kinetic model describing the data are discussed.

Abstract
We have studied Cd2+-induced effects on mitochondrial respiration and swelling in various media as a function of the [Cd2+] in the presence or absence of different bivalent metal ions or ruthenium red (RR). It was confirmed by monitoring oxygen consumption by isolated rat liver mitochondria that, beginning from 5 microM, Cd2+ decreased both ADP and uncoupler-stimulated respiration and increased their basal respiration when succinate was used as respiratory substrate. At concentrations higher than 5 microM, Cd2+ stimulated ion permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane, which was monitored in this study by swelling of both nonenergized mitochondria in 125 mM KNO3 or NH4NO3 medium and succinate-energized mitochondria incubated in a medium containing 25 mM K-acetate and 100 mM sucrose. We have found substantial changes in the above-mentioned Cd2+ effects on mitochondria treated in sequence with 100 microM of Ca2+, Sr2+, Mn2+ or Ba2+(Me2+) and 7.5 microM RR, as well as the alterations in Cd2+ action on the uptake of 137Cs+ by succinate-energized mitochondria in the presence or absence of valinomycin in acetate medium (50 mM Tris-acetate and 140 mM sucrose) with or without Ca2+ or RR. The evidence obtained indicate that Ca2+ exhibits a synergestic action on all Cd2+ effects examined, whereas Sr2+ and Mn2+, conversely, are antagonistic. In the presence of RR, the Cd2+ effects on respiration [stimulation of State 4 respiration and inhibition of 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP)-uncoupled respiration] still exist, but are observed at concentrations of cadmium more than one order higher; the inhibition of State 3 respiration by Cd2+ conversely, takes place under even lower cadmium concentrations than those determined without RR in the medium. In addition, RR added simultaneously with cadmium in the incubation medium prevents any swelling in the nitrate media, but induces an increment both in Cd2+-stimulated swelling and 137Cs+ (analog of K+) uptake in the acetate media. For the first time, we have shown that Cd2+-induced swelling in all media under study is susceptible to cyclosporin A (CSA), a high-potency inhibitor of the mitochondrial permeability transition (PT) pore. The observations are interpreted in terms of a dual effect of cadmium on respiratory chain activity and permeability transition.

Abstract
Temperature dependencies of kinetic and equilibrium parameters of urea hydrolysis catalyzed by native urease and the urease immobilized in a thermosensitive poly-N-isopropylacrylamide gel have been studied. The swelling ratio of the collapsed urease-containing gel is shown to increase in the presence of urea. Below a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the polymer, the immobilized urease actually has the same catalytic properties as the native enzyme. At temperatures above LCST, the observed catalytic activity of the immobilized enzyme depends chiefly not only on the thermoreversible matrix state, but also on gel water content.

Abstract
The effect of temperature on kinetic and equilibrium parameters of urea hydrolysis catalyzed with urease immobilized into a thermosensitive poly-N-isopropylacrylamide gel was studied. The temperature behavior of the gel-urease system is different from similar systems. After a decrease in the enzyme activity above the critical temperature, the maximal rate of the enzymatic reaction and gel swelling ratio begin to increase. Urea hydrolysis catalyzed with immobilized urease and shrinking-swelling of the thermosensitive urease-containing gel depend on each other. Under collapse, gel swelling increases due to the enzymatic reaction. The rate of the enzymatic reaction no longer follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics, and the dependence of the reaction rate on substrate concentration becomes more complicated.

Abstract
Azido derivatives of long-chain fatty acids, 12-(4-azido-2-nitrophenylamino)dodecanoic acid (N3-NpNH-Lau) and 16-(4-azido-2-nitrophenylamino)hexadecanoic acid (N3-NpNH-Pam), were used to study the mechanism of the protonophoric function of long-chain fatty acids in mitochondrial membranes. N3-NpNH-Lau was found to increase resting-state respiration and decrease the membrane potential in a dose-dependent way in a manner similar to that of the natural fatty acid, myristate. Both effects of N3-NpNH-Lau as well as of the myristate were reversed or prevented by the inhibitor of the mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier (AAC), carboxyatractyloside. This protective effect of carboxyatractyloside was well expressed in rat heart mitochondria and less so in mitochondria within digitonin-permeabilized Ehrlich ascites tumour cells. Photomodification of Ehrlich ascites tumour mitochondria by ultraviolet irradiation in the presence of N3-NpNH-Lau made them more resistant to the uncoupling effect of myristate, and photomodification of rat heart mitochondria resulted in a strong inhibition of AAC which could not be reversed by serum albumin. Photolabelling of rat heart mitochondria with tritiated N3-NpNH-Pam revealed around 10 labelled bands on SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Based on immunodetection with a specific antibody, one of them, corresponding to 30 kDa, was identified as AAC. Specific interaction of AAC with azido fatty acids was confirmed by a high radiolabelling of this band. The role of fatty acids in fine control of the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation is discussed.

Abstract
K+ homeostasis in mitochondria is maintained by concerted action of the electrophoretic K+ uniport, driven by the membrane potential, and the electroneutral K+/H+ exchange, driven by [K+] and [H+] gradients. Knowing the driving forces of both pathways and the magnitude of net K+ fluxes under various conditions in rat liver mitochondria suspended in isotonic sucrose medium it was possible to evaluate corresponding rate constants. The rate constant for the K+ uniport under energized conditions was calculated as 0.11 nmol x min-1 x mV-1 x mg protein-1 and that of the antiport was about ten times lower. Activation of the exchanger by depletion of mitochondrial Mg2+ with the ionophore A23187 resulted in an almost tenfold increase of its rate constant, approaching that of the uniport. Quinine and Mg2+ inhibited both K+ transport pathways, whereas glibenclamide, blocker of the ATP-sensitive K+ channel, inhibited the uniport only. The uniport was activated by K+ channel opener P1060.

Abstract
Influx of K+ into rat liver mitochondria driven by the transmembrane potential was investigated. Under non-energized conditions (non-respiring mitochondria suspended in isotonic KSCN) K+ influx (manifested by mitochondrial swelling) was enhanced by pinacidil and its derivative P1060, known as K+ channel openers in the plasma membrane; this stimulation being inhibited by potassium channel blocker glibenclamide. Under energized conditions (respiring mitochondria) the rate of K+ uptake (measured with K(+)-sensitive electrode) was increased by P1060 and slowed down by glibenclamide. These results indicate functioning of a specific potassium channel in intact liver mitochondria.
