Tumor vs. normal liver extra- and intra-mitochondrial citrate levels: time-course incubations fed pyruvate + malate. Mitochondria from each tissue source were incubated with 0.5 mM pyruvate/0.1 mM malate/15 mM ADP. At indicated time intervals, incubation aliquots were rapidly centrifuged through a silicone oil layer into perchloric acid. Extramitochondrial citrate was determined on the samples above, and intramitochondrial citrate was determined on samples below the silicone oil barrier. (A) Hepatoma 3924A, • extramito; ○ intramito. Normal ACI rat liver, □ extramito; ▼ intramito. (B) Hepatoma 16, • extramito; ○ intramito. Normal Buffalo rat liver, □ extramito, ▼ intramito (see: Parlo and Coleman, 1984, for details on methods).
