  • Title: Effect of styrene and other alkyl benzene derivatives on oxidation of FAD- and NAD-linked substrates in rat liver mitochondria.
    Author: Mickiewicz W, Rzeczycki W.
    Journal: Biochem Pharmacol; 1988 Dec 01; 37(23):4439-44. PubMed ID: 2904817.
    Abstract:
    The effect on energetic metabolism of rat liver mitochondria (RLM) of styrene and other aliphatic benzene derivatives, i.e. toluene, ethylbenzene, alpha-methylstyrene and butylbenzene, is studied. It is shown that these compounds uncouple oxidative phosphorylation and this effect is connected with the stimulation of passive entry of protons into mitochondria. The relationship between hydrophobicity of these compounds and their biological activity and mechanism of uncoupling effect are discussed.
