Effect of monovalent cation ionophores on lymphocyte cellular metabolism

Abstract:
The effect of valinomycin, nigericin and gramicidin on the cellular O2 consumption and on ATP content has been investigation. It has been found that while valinomycin and nigericin interfere with mitochondrial functions, gramicidin D does not show any appreciable effect. These results are explained in terms of the differing abilities of ionophores to redistribute among intracellular membranes.
