Conditions for heart perfusion and the measurement of mitochondrial enzyme activities were detailed under Materials and Methods. Concentration of the applied chemicals were 3 mM for 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB), 3-aminobenzoic acid (3-ABA) and nicotinamide, 0.114 for mM BGP-15, and 0.1 for mM 4-hydroxyquinazoline (4-HQ). Values are given as mean ± S.E.M. for five experiments.
