The effects of crambin on the activities of phospholipases, lipid peroxidat
ion and structure of mitochondrial membranes have been investigated. it has
been shown that crambin inhibits lipid peroxidation and phospholipase acti
vity induced by Ca2+ and freezing-thawing of mitochondria. These effects ar
e based on the ability of crambin to cause changes in the mitochondrial mem
brane structure, as has been shown by ESR studies.
