Bnip3 induces swelling of isolated heart mitochondria via a different mechanism than Ca2+. A. Mitochondria isolated from rat hearts were incubated with recombinant Bnip3 (1 μg) or Ca2+ (250 μM) and reduction in absorbance at 520 nm was measured. Swelling assay is representative of three independent experiments. B. The degree of swelling (amplitude) and rate (Vmax) of swelling was significantly different between Ca2+ and Bnip3. Results are means±S.E.M. (n=3,*p<0.05).
