Effect of brain mitochondria (BM) and liver mitochondria (LM) on rate of peroxidation of unbound UCB by HRP (Kp)
Kp | ||
---|---|---|
(mL·μg-1·min-1) | vs control (p) | |
Control a (n = 22) | 0.406 ± 0.01 | |
BM b (n = 15) | 0.399 ± 0.02 | 0.183 |
LM c (n = 16) | 0.699 ± 0.03 | < 0.001 |
Kp was determined by method described in [23], to measure the coupled constant rate of bilirubin oxidation by HRP. a Control, no mitochondria; b BM, mouse brain mitochondria; c LM, mouse liver mitochondria.
