The P:O ratios, oxygen consumption in ADP- or IP-deficient media, and ATPase activity of heart mitochondria isolated from digitoxin or ouabain-poisoned guinea pig were studied.
These mitochondria were found to utilize more oxygen in an ADP- or IP-deficient medium than the control mitochondria.
The respiratory response of these mitochondria to the addition of hexokinase and glucose to the ADP-deficient medium was less than that of the controls. The P:O ratio and ATPase activity were unchanged when compared to the controls.
