  • Title: Organic hydroperoxides at high concentrations cause energization and activation of ATP synthesis in mitochondria.
    Author: Marshansky V.
    Journal: J Biol Chem; 1989 Mar 05; 264(7):3670-3. PubMed ID: 2917970.
    Abstract:
    The addition of high concentrations of cumene or tert-butyl hydroperoxide to previously deenergized mitochondria results in the energization of these mitochondria and activation of ATP synthesis. The energization effect was observed in the presence of 0.5-0.7 mM cumene hydroperoxide or 2.0-2.5 mM tert-butyl hydroperoxide. This energization of mitochondria and activation of oxidative phosphorylation by organic hydroperoxides required the presence of ADP in the mitochondrial matrix and does not depend upon the method of deenergization of the mitochondria.
