Effect of adrenaline on calcium transport and oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria

: Intraperitoneal adrenaline injection induces in 15 and 30 min an increase in the phosphorylation rate, calcium capacity and Ca2+ retention time in the rat liver mitochondria. A rise of the phosphorylation rate is inhibited by inderal, a beta-adreno-blocker. Energy metabolism grows considerably with succinate exchange intensification.
