THE EFFECT OF ALKALOID SONGORINE ON MITOCHONDRIAL RESPIRATORY RATE AND OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION PROCESS UNDER NORMAL AND SHORT-TERM STRESS
Abstract
Stress conditions adversely affect normal physiological functions, resulting in cellular dysfunctions and alterations in molecular mechanisms. Mitochondria, multifunctional organelles within cells, play crucial roles across various aspects of cell physiology, beyond their role in ATP synthesis.
Among the biologically active substances, the diterpene alkaloid songorine has an activating effect on the rate of respiration and on the processes of oxidative phosphorylation of normal and stress-induced mitochondria in vitro.
