Abstract

Nitric oxide is a small potentially toxic molecule and a diatomic free radical. We report the interaction of L-arginine, oxygen and calcium with the synthesis of nitric oxide in heart mitochondria. Nitric oxide synthesis is increased in broken rat heart mitochondria compared with intact and permeabilized mitochondria. Intact mitochondria subjected to hypoxia-reoxygenation conditions accumulated nitric oxide that inhibits oxygen consumption and ATP synthesis. ATPase activity is not affected during this augment of nitric oxide. Physiological free calcium concentrations protected mitochondria from the damage caused by the accumulation of nitric oxide. Higher concentrations of the divalent cation increase the damage exerted by nitric oxide.
