ON SOME MECHANISMS REGULATING THE CHEMICAL ACTIVITY OF THE NEURON MITOCHONDRIA

The practical applications of insproved tetrazohiuns methods have nsade it Possible to study the distribution of dehydrogcnating enuzymsues. The study of the electron transfer svstenss within nuitochondria with the light nsicroscol)e l)rovides a new approach to the evaluation of tise functional activities of this orgamuelle (12, 18). Ins-estigations by Pearse and associates have densonstrated those changes which occur in the nsitochondria of the cells of the epithehium of the rat kidmsey conuvoluted tubules and parathyroid glands under various physiological and pathuohogical conditions (3, 9, 11, 19, 22). Portugalos’ et al. (13, 14) showed that, under sufficient influensce exerted ons the animal organisns, increased fornusazan deposits develop within neuronal nsitoehontiria of the central and peripheral
