Mouse liver mitochondria were uncoupled in a time dependent by intraperitoneal injection of a radical initiator, 2,2'-azobis-(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) (100 mg/kg). State 3 respiration, ADP/O ratio and respiratory control ratio (RCR) were decreased 30 min after injection but there was no effect on state 4 respiration. Lipid peroxidation was increased and oxidative phosphorylation was uncoupled at one hr after drug injection but gradually recovered to normal levels after 14 hr in vivo. State 3 respiration, RCR and ADP/O ratio but not state 4 respiration of isolated mouse mitochondria were inhibited by short term incubation with AAPH in vitro. This inhibitory action was concentration dependent (ID50 = 5 mM) but was not prevented by alpha-tocopherol. AAPH had no effect on electron transport or the membrane potential of these isolated mitochondria. However, mitochondria were uncoupled via lipid peroxidation and swelling by long term incubation with AAPH. These inhibitory effects of AAPH were reduced by its spontaneous degradation not only in vitro but also in vivo. Thus AAPH induces mitochondrial dysfunction by direct action in the early period of treatment and free radicals produced from AAPH mediate mitochondrial swelling via lipid peroxidation in the late period. From these findings, it is concluded that mitochondrial phosphorylation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of liver injury induced by AAPH and that radicals generated by AAPH might be a source of liver injury and mitochondrial dysfunction in vivo.
