[Oxidative phosphorylation and chemiluminescence in experimental influenza infection]

Influenza A2/Victoria virus in the process of development in chick embryos exerted an inhibiting effect on the energy metabolism of liver mitochondria which was manifested in reduced intensity of oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria and increased chemiluminescence of the allantoic fluid. It is assumed that the development of influenza virus is associated with changes in permeability and destruction of membrane structures of the cell leading to the release of lipid complexes and disturbances in electron transport in the respiration chain.
