摘要
Respiration by mitochondria isolated from the livers of sheep following infection up to 15 weeks with F. hepatica was measured with the respiratory substrates pyruvate (plus malate) and succinate in the absence and presence of ADP; the rates were compared with those obtained by mitochondria isolated from livers of uninfected sheep. It was found that respiration supported by both substrates in mitochondria isolated from the left lobe but not the middle lobe of 4-week infected sheep exhibited abnormalities such that the acceptor control ratios were only marginally above one. Some, but not total, recovery was seen in the later stages of infection. The aberrant respiratory behaviour is similar to that observed with infected rats.
