ABSTRACT
This paper proposes a method to demonstrate that 123789 Dibenzodioxine and 2378 Dibenzofurane enhance membrane permeability to ions in mitochondria from rat liver.
The procedure can be employed:
i) as a general method to assess the enhancement of membrane permeability by toxic compounds,
ii) to study the decrease in conductivity of carrier-systems induced by inhibitors of transport, and
iii) to study the behavior of ion-carrier systems which are potentially dependent on biological membranes.
