Utilization of mitochondrial and microsomal metabolism for the assessment of toxicity

Short-term toxicity tests utilizing mitochondrial and microsomal metabolism were developed and applied to a series of eight quinones. In the mitochondrial assay, the degree to which test compounds inhibited mitochondrial respiration varied from an EC50 of 9 μM to l25 μM. In the microsomal assay, th...
