Increases in intracellular Ca(2+) during cellular stress often lead to the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT). We examined changes in fatty acids (FAs) released from isolated renal cortical mitochondria subjected to Ca(2+)-induced MPT. Exposing mitochondria to Ca(2+) stimulated mitochondrial swelling and release of FAs such as arachidonic (20:4) and docosahexenoic acids which increased 71% and 32%, respectively, and linoleic (18:2) which decreased 23% compared to controls. Stearic (18:0 ...[more]
