[Correlation of mitochondria metabolism and spontaneous luminescence of incubation cells]

Correlation between metabolism of isolated mitochondria (M) and the energetic state of incubation cells structure was studied. The energetic state was determined by the intensity of spontaneous superlow luminescence (LM). Correlation was found between M respiration rate, oxidative phosphorylation and the incubation cells LM. Variations of M metabolism correlating with the LM level of the cells made of quartz and organic glass are of opposite direction. Independently of LM value of the cells there was found a reliable successive decrease of M respiration rate in the course of their incubation in the quartz cells with a decreased response to stimulation additions (ADP, DHP), and an increase of the time of aerobic phase. A decrease of the rate of oxygen consumption and phosphorylation was observed also in the organic glass cells with a low LM level. The indexes of metabolism in the organic glass cells with a high LM level corresponded to the usual control. An increase of LM level of the whole system (M + medium + incubation + cell) was observed during M incubation in optically low-transparent (organic glass) and untransparent (ebonite) cells. On the contrary when M were incubated in transparent quartz cells a decrease of LM level was observed. Changes of LM and respiration are suggested to be related to the existence of coherent electromagnetic vibrations in the components of the system under study, and with the dependence of the mobility degree of molecular oxygen on the level of structure pattern of the biological systems.
