Qs. Wang et al., A phospholipase C inhibitor, phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, ameliorates ischemic injury to brain mitochondria in rats, ACT PHAR SI, 22(3), 2001, pp. 249-252
AIM: To study the effect of phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), a phospho
lipase C inhibitor, on ischemic injury to brain mitochondria in rats. METHO
DS: The phospholipid level, membrane fluidity, and respiratory control rati
o of brain mitochondria were measured. The effect of phenylmethylsulfonyl f
luoride was tested. RESULTS: The phospholipid level, membrane fluidity, and
respiratory control ratio of brain mitochondria in ischemia group decrease
d but increased in the PMSF treatment group(P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: PMSF ame
liorated ischemic injury to brain mitochondria in rats.
