However, when the rate of oxygen uptake by mitochondria was measured in the presence of rotenone and tetramethyl-p-phenylene-diamine with NADH as substrate, the specific activity in CCl4 treated rats was lower than that of normal rats (Vmax = 345 +/- 31 (e-/s/cytochrome aa3), as compared to Vmax = 408 +/- 21) in spite of the increased activity of cytochrome c oxidase.
This phenomenon was ascribed to a decrease in the activity of NADH cytochrome b5 reductase in the mitochondrial outer membrane due to CCl4 treatment.

Among the respiratory pigments analysed spectrophotometrically in the microsomal fraction prepared from ascites cells, only small amounts of flavoproteins (NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase) were detectable. 3.

AK-135 fully restores the rate of glutamate (but not succinate) oxidation by liver and heart mitochondria catalyzed by rotenone, antimycin A and cyanide.
Besides, in the liver this compound is also capable of accepting electrons from NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase.

The cytochrome is reduced in aerobic conditions also in the presence of exogenous NADH and rotenone.
The results are indicative of the fact that different electron transport chains are involved in the transport of reducing equivalents from higher alcohols and aldehydes oxidized by mitochondria: in the first case, the NADH--cytochrome b5 reductase chain, and in the second case, the main phosphorylating electron transport chain.

The addition of glutamate (but not succinate), NAD+ and amytal (or rotenone) to the reconstituted system caused a 40-50% reduction of NADPH-reducible cytochrome P-450.

Addition of exogenous NADH to rotenone- and antimycin A-treated mitochondria, in 125 mM KCl, results in rates of oxygen uptake of 0.5-1 and 10-12 nanoatoms of oxygen X mg protein-1 X min-1 in the absence and presence of cytochrome c, respectively.
NADH oxidation is blocked by mersalyl, an inhibitor of NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase.

It is assumed that (i) hypotonic treatment or digitonin causes disruption of the outer mitochondrial membrane, and, as a consequence, desorption of the membrane-bound cytochrome c in a Mg2+-dependent fashion; (ii) incubation in isotonic KCI without Mg2+ results in swelling of mitochondrial matrix, disruption of the outer membrane and cytochrome c desorption whereas Mg2+ lowers the K+ permeability of the inner membrane and, hence, prevents swelling; (iii) desorbed cytochrome c is reduced by added NADH via NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase and cytochrome b5 or by ascorbate and is oxidized by cytochrome oxidase.
Rotenone and myxothiazol do not inhibit delta psi generated by oxidation of exogenous NADH.

The extent of solubilization was compared with that of protein, rotenone insensitive NADH cytochrome c reductase or NADH cytochrome b5 reductase, which have been shown to associate with microsomal membrane rather than luminar contents.

Complex I activity is measured in the presence of 2.5 mg.ml-1 bovine serum albumin, which increases rotenone sensitivity, and we have shown that NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase makes an important contribution to the rotenone-insensitive NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase activity.
