[Changes in buoyant density of planarian mitochondria under starvation and nutrition]
Biokhimiia (Moscow, Russia)
|January 1, 1980
Abstract:
The changes in buoyant density of mitochondria during starvation and nutrition of planaria have been revealed. The buoyant density of mitochondria decreases during starvation and reversibly increases under nutrition. The decrease of the buoyant density of planarian mitochondria under starvation is probably due to a decrease in the level of synthesis of mitochondrial protein.
