The in vivo action of cyclosporine A (CS) on rat renal cortical mitochondria was investigated. CS (30 mg.kg-1.day-1) given orally to rats for 30 days caused an augmentation of renal mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. The ADP-stimulated respiratory rate was increased by 37.0% with glutamate plus malate as respiratory substrates (P less than 0.025) but not with succinate-supported respiration, indicating enhancement of mitochondrial complex I activity. This reaction may be a response to the 32.5% reduction of renal blood (P less than 0.005) in the CS-treated group, possibly serving to maximize ATP synthesis during ischemia. Ligation-induced decreases in renal blood flow also resulted in enhancement of mitochondrial complex I activity.
