Induction of electrogenic phosphate transport through the mitochondrial membrane by thermostable cytoplasmic factor in hyperthyroidism

: Addition of a thermostable cytoplasmic fraction leads to the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation of the mitochondria. In hyperthyrosis such an effect manifests itself more powerfully than in the control. Addition of the thermostable cytoplasmic fraction induces electrogenic phosphate transport via the mitochondrial membrane. In hyperthyrosis, the activity of the thermostable inducer of phosphate transport in the cytoplasm increases. The functioning of the phosphate cycle may be the cause of the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation of the mitochondria during the disease in question.
