Tissue Specific Sensitivity of Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore to Ca2+ Ions

Ca2+-induced opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) is involved in induction of apoptotic and necrotic processes. We studied sensitivity of MPTP to calcium using the model of Ca2+-induced, cyclosporine A-sensitive mitochondrial swelling. Presented data indicate that the ext...
