  • Title: The effect of camphor on mitochondrial respiration.
    Author: Guilland-Cumming DF, Smith GJ.
    Journal: Experientia; 1982 Feb 15; 38(2):236-7. PubMed ID: 7060709.
    Abstract:
    Camphor at less than 8 mumoles/mg protein reduced the rate of oxygen consumption by rat liver mitochondria. The effect occurs only with NAD+-linked substrates. Succinate linked respiration was inhibited but this appears to be caused by some conversion of succinate to malate. At higher levels, camphor increases oxygen consumption with succinate substrate, by uncoupling at site II.
