The effect of Cobalt on mitochondrial ATP-production in the rat myocardium and skeletal muscle
(1990) In Scandinavian Journal of Clinical & Laboratory Investigation 50(2). p.153-159- Abstract
Cobalt has been shown to accumulate in the myocardium of uraemic patients and has been suggested as a myocardial toxin inhibiting mitochondrial respiration. In order to study the cellular effects of cobalt exposure three groups of rats (n=12 per group) were fed a diet containing 12% protein without supplementation or with 20 mg and 40 mg CoSO4 7 H2O/kg body weight/day respectively. After 8 weeks the hearts and soleus muscles were removed. Cobalt in tissues and in four cell fractions were analysed with neutron-activation analysis (ng/g wet weight and ng/mg protein respectively). Mitochondrial respiration was analysed as ATP-production rate using pyruvate+malate and palmitoyl-carnitine+malate as substrate. The... (More)

Mitochondrial respiration was analysed as ATP-production rate using pyruvate+malate and palmitoyl-carnitine+malate as substrate. The ATP-production from pyruvate+ malate was unchanged in both heart and skeletal muscle in the exposed animals. With palmitate as substrate, the heart muscle showed a slightly lower ATP-production rate (p
