Article Synopsis
- The experiment aimed to identify a mitochondrial protein that boosts glycolytic flux, specifically focusing on mitochondrial F-ATPase's role in ATP hydrolysis affecting glycolysis.
- Using porcine longissimus muscle mitochondria, results showed that adding mitochondria increased ATP hydrolysis and related processes, but this effect was significantly reduced when Na-azide inhibited F-ATPase.
- Further tests indicated that introducing mitochondrial proteins after 240 minutes led to more pronounced lactate accumulation and pH decline than myofibrillar proteins, supporting the conclusion that mitochondrial F-ATPase enhances glycolytic activity through enhanced ATP hydrolysis at lower pH.
