R. Pagani et al., IDENTIFICATION OF A MITOCHONDRIAL INHIBITOR OF RAT-LIVER L-THREONINE DEHYDROGENASE, Biochimica et biophysica acta (G). General subjects, 1244(1), 1995, pp. 49-52
In a previous paper, we showed inhibition of rat liver L-threonine deh
ydrogenase by a preparation obtained by dialysis and concentration fro
m rat liver mitochondria:stored at -20 degrees C for 7-10 days (Pagani
, R., Leoncini, R., Guerranti, R. and Marinello, E. (1990) It. J. Bioc
hem. 39, 106-114). The chemical composition of the fraction containing
the unknown 'inhibitor' has now been studied and identified as D-3-hy
droxybutyrate (D3HB).
