[The role of transaminases and mitochondrial anion porters in the energetics of animals of different ages].

Aminohydroxyacetate, an inhibitor of aminotransferases, decreases the rate of oxygen consumption by 1-day-old young rats by 35% 10 min after intraperitoneal injection, whereas for 20-day-old rats, the inhibitory effect is 56%, and for adult mice, it is 83%. More prolonged exposure to aminohydroxyacetate leads to death of the animal. One-day-old rats die 90 min after the injection, 20-day-old rats die 30 min after the injection, and adult mice die 15 min after the injection.

[The lipolytic enzyme activity of the mitochondrial membranes of the digestive organs in heat stress in rats].

An augmentation of catalytic activity of phospholipase A and lysophospholipase A occurred in the liver mitochondria membranes and small intestine mucosa in rats subjected to heat. The augmentation of the latter's activity was significantly lesser in overheated rats.
